Boston is a city that offers its visitor endless options whether it be discovering the sights along The Freedom Trail, spending an evening in one of its theatres or taking advantage of having the opportunity to peruse some of the country's best museums. There are, of course, also endless options for dining, drinking, or partying. The city's hotel scene is equally diverse ranging from world-class five-star properties to charming B&Bs. However, when available, our Hotel Gurus always choose a boutique stay for their individual design and personalised service. With this in mind, they have compiled a collection of the best boutique hotels in Boston. Ranging from converted brownstones brimming with Bostonian character to grand luxury stays - there is something for everyone here. So why not browse through our collection to start planning your next trip?
For great value

- Clarendon Square Inn is a sophisticated spot close to ‘restaurant row’ & the SoWa arts district. Tucked down a quiet street, this boutique offers tranquillity away from the city’s hustle and bustle. With a distinctly New England feel, the interiors are elegant and traditional. With rooms starting at around the $100 mark - this is an affordable and stylish stay.
For a B&B

- Moroccan Luxury Suites is a completely unique stay. With just three opulent Moroccan themed suites with heavenly bathrooms, this owner-run B&B is an intimate choice. A perfect city hideaway.
For self-catering

- Sonder Hancock Suites is a selection of studios and one-bedroom suites situated in residential Beacon Hill. Decor ticks all the boutique boxes; signature walls, velvet cushions and a fun mishmash of antique and contemporary furniture. With fully-functioning kitchens and dining areas, this is a great choice for long-stays.
- Another Sonder property, Sonder Pierce Boston, is located in Fenway Park area and offers 1, 2, and 3 bedroom apartments. Expect chic minimalist style with bespoke art and designer furniture. All equipped with kitchens - this is a great choice for a smart home in the city.
For a brownstone

- Step into another world with a stay at The College Club of Boston - a slice of history in well-heeled Back Bay. This 1890 Victorian brownstone's 11 unique rooms were each renovated by a different local designer; think high ceilings, decorative fireplaces and antique furniture. Low in tech, high in charm.
- The Inn @ St Botolph is another brownstone in Back Bay but this one is for visitors that like their design stylish and contemporary. Book this stay for a home-away-from-home - the feel is laid back, there is keyless entry and virtual check-in, and a kitchen that guests can use if they would prefer.
For a waterfront stay

- Book Boston Yacht Haven Inn & Marina for the breathtaking 180-degree sea and city vistas. The spacious contemporary rooms have luxurious amenities and nautical touches. A unique choice that feels like being at sea with luxury yachts as your only neighbours.
For luxury

- XV Beacon is a preppy New England frat boy with style; proud, polite but ready to party if you want to. With luxurious rooms (think cashmere throws, gas fireplaces, and Frette linen), fine-dining and a dedicated wine-room this is a smart choice set in the upscale Beacon Hill neighbourhood.
- The Whitney Hotel is a luxury boutique set at the foot of Beacon Hill. Rooms are stylish and feature white subway-tiled bathrooms and offer lovely city views. However, the family run Italian/American restaurant is a charming personal touch and the real attraction.
For sightseeing

- Beacon Hill Hotel & Bistro is a small elegant hotel with 13 bright rooms decorated in a simple yet stylish manner. Set in Beacon Hill at the start of the Freedom Trail, this is a prime location for those wanting to see the city's main sights. Best yet, guests can return for dinner at the award-winning restaurant.
For access to Harvard University

- Boutique Hotel Veritas is set in Cambridge, surrounded by the historic Harvard Colleges. The building itself is contemporary but has been styled on traditional design. Rooms are elegant and cosy and the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Pick the Queen Balcony Room for a large private terrace with lovely views.
