Hilton Boston Park Plaza - Boston

One of Boston’s most historic hotels, opened in 1927 as the largest independent hotel in New England, Hilton Boston Park Plaza has hosted the likes of Winston Churchill and all but two US Presidents. Today it offers pleasant accommodation, a fitness centre with a golf simulator and dining options offering a taste of New England or Italy.

Set in Back Bay, an affluent area known for its designer boutiques, art galleries and cafes, the hotel is just one block from Boston Common – the oldest city park in the US – and the Public Garden, which sits alongside. The picturesque Beacon Hill neighbourhood is just half a mile north, while a half mile stroll south-east can lead you to catch a show in the city’s Theater District. Boston Logan International Airport is around four miles away.

Accommodation is typically smart and minimalist, as you’d expect from a Hilton. White walls and bedding feel fresh, while dark woods, patterned coffee-coloured carpets and blinds add warmth. One Queen Wicked Small rooms are petite, ideal for solo travellers, while One King Superior and Two Double Superior rooms offer a little extra space for two to four guests.
