Boston: Hotels

There are plenty of places to rest your weary head after a long day of sightseeing in Boston. From luxury properties with all the bells and whistles to budget digs with just the basics, mega-hotel chains to intimate B&Bs, you'll find the place that suits your needs and your wallet here. In the last decade, Boston has added more than 30 new properties, most of the high-end variety. Boutique accommodations, something unheard of before the year 2000, are also part of the new hotel scene.
