Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

This exquisite hotel combines the flavor of Yankee Boston with European-style service and abundant amenities. On tree-lined Commonwealth Avenue, the red-brick building looks more like a classy apartment building than a hotel, with a romantic atmosphere, subtle geometric and floral patterns on the rugs and upholstery, and top-notch business features. Almost every unit is a spacious suite (16 rooms are standard doubles) with antique furnishings, down comforters, and authentic botanical prints. French doors separate the living rooms and bedrooms in the suites, and all bathrooms are outfitted in Italian marble. The neo-Georgian 1925 building is near Boston University and MIT (across the river), and the location contrasts pleasantly with the bustle of Newbury Street, a block away.
