Book NowBoston Park Plaza Hotel & Towers Review
To keep up with the incoming rush of ultracool, ultramodern hotels, the Park Plaza rooms include pillowtop mattresses and plasma TVs. There's also a trendy rooftop organic herb garden and an energy-efficient infrastructure (that cost more than $500,000). But make no mistake—it didn't sell its soul. The old-school, antiques-laden 1927 building is just as historically grand as ever, as evidenced in its gilded, chandelier-lighted lobby and classically decorated lodging. As at most vintage city hotels, the rooms are rather diminutive; the bathrooms, even more so (except on the 15th-floor concierge level). But travelers looking for an all-inclusive stay would be wise to book the Park Plaza—the property houses a handful of restaurants and bars. Hint: Don't miss the decadent dessert shop Finale.
