Frommer's Highly Recommended

Across the street from the Hynes Convention Center and the Prudential Center complex, the Hilton is primarily a top-notch business hotel, but vacationing families also find it convenient and comfortable. The well-maintained guest rooms were spruced up in 2007 and 2008; they're large, soundproofed, and furnished in modern style, with oversize work desks. Units on higher floors of the 26-story tower enjoy excellent views. The weekend packages, especially in winter, can be a great deal. The atmosphere here tends to be considerably calmer than the scene at the three mega-hotels attached to the Pru and Copley Place. The closest of those, the Sheraton, is right across the street. It's three times the Hilton's size (which generally means less personalized service), has a better pool, and books more vacation and function business. Facilities: Restaurant (American/Continental); bar; indoor pool; well-equipped fitness center; concierge; courtesy car; 24-hr. business center; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; executive-level rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility.
