Boston Hotels - Tips For Choosing the Best Accommodations For Your Visit

With more than 100 Boston hotels to choose from, how do you pick the best place to stay when you visit the city?  Here are the top 5 tips for picking the best Boston accommodations for you.

Tip 1:  Choose a convenient location.  With so many hotel choices, you might as well be close to where you plan to spend most of your time while you're in the city.  Not only will you save money on taxi and subway fares, but even more important, you'll save transit time.  And in the time you save, you can explore more of the city.

Many Boston visitors think that choosing a Boston hotel location means picking Downtown or Back Bay...and not surprisingly, these are the neighborhoods where you'll find most of the city's hotels.  If you're here for a business meeting in the Financial District, then that's where you'll want to stay.  If you're planning a vacation of shopping, eating in some of the city's finest restaurants, seeing a concert or two, and strolling through streets filled with Victorian mansions, then you'll want a Back Bay hotel. 

But beyond these 2 general locations, you'll find lots of additional choices to suit your needs.  Are you here for a Red Sox game at Fenway Park and perhaps some celebratory fun afterward at nearby sports bars and nightspots?  You'll want to consider nearby hotels in the Fenway neighborhood such as Hotel Buckminster or Hotel Commonwealth. 

Likewise, if you're here for a Celtics or Bruins game, think about a West End hotel, such as the Onyx Hotel or Holiday Inn Boston.  Planning a weekend filled with browsing through antique shops?  You may want a Beacon Hill hotel, close to the many fascinating antique shops along Charles Street and also close to Back Bay and Downtown.

Tip 2:   Determine the level of services and amenities that you want - and want to pay for.  In all of Boston's central neighborhoods such as Downtown, Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Fenway, and the West End, you can choose from Boston hotels ranging from basic to luxurious, and everything in between. 

Do you want on-site spa services, a town car at your disposal, down comforters and imported linens?  Or are college-dorm decor and clean sheets all you require?  To a certain degree, level of service determines the general price range.  However, don't assume that the most luxurious hotels with the best service are the most expensive - or that paying top dollar will guarantee top luxury and superb service.  The same thing holds true for lower-cost, more basic hotels.  You'll can also find some great bargains among mid-priced hotels.

Tip 3:   Identify additional requirements.  Are you bringing Pooch?   If so, you'll want to choose one of Boston's many pet-friendly hotels (although don't forget to inquire about additional charges for pets - they range from $25 to $100+.)  Do your children demand a swimming pool?  Many Boston hotels are in older buildings and may not have a pool - so if a pool is important to you or the kiddies, make sure your hotel has one.

Tip 4:  Decide if size matters.  Boston's hotels range from small boutiques such as Nine Zero Hotel and the Eliot Hotel to places large enough to host conventions, such as the Marriott Copley Plaza and the Westin Boston Waterfront near the new Boston Convention and Exposition Center in South Boston.  You'll find a wide range of choices - so if you care about size, you can find a place that will please you. 

Tip 5:  Find the best hotel rates plus any discounts or specials.  Use a web-based hotel price comparison tool like those provided by HotelsCombined and Kayak to compare prices from multiple booking agencies and find out where you can get the best rates for Boston hotels.  The HotelsCombined tool also checks the hotel's own website.   And if you're interested in specials, such as breakfast for 2 or theater tickets, check the hotel's website directly.
