Expert Review

Just a few blocks from Beacon Hill and a 10-minute walk from Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market, the boutique Bulfinch Hotel offers the best bang for your buck in Beantown. The unique flat-iron-shaped building is composed of 79 contemporary rooms and eight suites. All are done up in muted taupe colors with fluffy white beds (Serta Perfect Sleepers, actually) with damask sheets and leather headboards, marble bathrooms, little work areas (complimentary Internet access included), and flat-screen TVs. Order up room service or head down to the ground-floor Flat Iron Tapas Bar for tasty treats like empanadas, blackened scallops with chili pineapple salsa, and Kobe sliders.
