Clarendon Square Inn

This converted 19th-century merchant’s townhouse located in the South End district of Boston is elegantly furnished with an old-world English feel – you could imagine sipping a nightcap in the library or having a tinker on the baby grand piano before slipping up to your impeccably furnished room for a decent night’s kip. There are surprising elements too – the rooftop hot tub and the ‘honesty bar’ where you can help yourself to a bottle of wine or fizz makes this a great choice for a romantic getaway. Go for the luxury suite with its tub-for-two, marble fireplace and huge dressing room if you’re feeling flush.
