Located on trendy Newbury Street, the Newbury Guest House (which underwent a complete renovation in spring 2009) puts guests right smack in the middle of the action with outdoor cafes, restaurants, and eclectic boutiques just steps away. Occupying three adjacent, historic, red-brick and brownstone Victorian… more row houses, the converted B&B retains much of its original detail in the form of decorative fireplaces, ceiling moldings, and parquet and hardwood floors. A full breakfast buffet is included in the rate, served in the breakfast parlor, or on warmer days, on the lovely patio. Although each of the 32 rooms has its own personality, they all include tasteful Federal-style furnishings. The largest rooms have expansive bay window alcoves with seating areas, while midsize rooms offer bright, airy quarters with oversized windows. Sleigh or four-poster beds are in both, as are loveseats, desk areas, and full baths. All rooms emanate a historic feel, without skimping on modern amenities, like cable TV, phones with voicemail, and free WiFi. For those who enjoy people-watching, grab a room facing Newbury Street, with its steady flow of hip passersby; those that prefer peace-and-quiet should opt for the quieter rear rooms.

Many years ago, while in Boston, I visited the Newbury Guest House and since then, I had been looking forward to staying there. However
My husband and I wanted to stay in a reasonably priced hotel that was close to major attractions in Boston. The Newbury Guest House fit the bill perfectly and was an amazing value. The hotel is located in the heart of Newbury Street's shops and... more
Drills and hammers and saws, oh my! Drills and hammers and saws, oh my! Drills and hammers and saws,OH MY! Toto, it's 8:45am on a Saturday! And we asked if there was going to be construction and they said not on weekends! Run,toto, run!
We recently returned from a weekend stay at this interesting hotel. It had been chosen by others with us who had stayed there previously. For location and price, you can't beat the place. In the middle of great shopping and close to other areas of... more
