The hotel

As synonymous with Boston as the eponymous tea party and cream pie, Hilton Boston Park Plaza has been a landmark on the city’s hotel circuit since it opened 90 years ago. Reinterpreted for the 21st century traveller with a $100 million mega-makeover, it now adds contemporary décor and mod-cons to its timeless elegance. And you’re in good company, with all bar two US Presidents staying here since it opened. It’s easy to see why, with a top-drawer location near Boston Common. Of course, they wouldn’t all have experienced today’s attractions, which include a mammoth 20,000 SF Health Club, the nightly cocktail hour (well 5 hours) in the Library, and the New England inspired dining of its Off the Common restaurant, with Boston’s signature lobster rolls a menu favourite.

Nice hotel, but many of our family agreed that the guest rooms needed much updating. A huge shoutout to Mamadou! His service was outstanding, gave diligent attention to our families needs…as they were a handful, and helped me keep my sense of humor as we sent them off in their Ubers in a timely manner for their flights. 😉

She then quickly but knowledgeably walked me through the amenities on property, gave me two bottles of water and asked me if I wanted the extra points or a 36 a day room credit to be used in food and drink. The lobby was amazing and spotless. Just the way you want to start a business trip. Thanks Devon. Read less

I am 5'10 about 195 pounds and I barely fit into the shower and it was hard to turn around in...let alone how they fit the sink and toilet in there...Small little table top to work on...not much room between bed and Tv...didnt use cleaning service...bar and menu is ok...in great location but highly suggest not renting the tiny room option :) Quick check in as always.

Read some bad reviews about this place and was wary but it was great. Went with my wife and 2 kids, 8 and 10. All enjoyed. Location is great in Back Bay next to the subway. Rooms were large and clean. Zero complaints.
