Why We Like It
If you're a business traveler, the Hilton is clean, quiet, and within walking distance to the rest of the Financial District.
Fodor's Expert Review
If you're looking for comfortable downtown lodging, you'll find it at this upscale business hotel with 24-hour fitness and business centers. The 1928 building was the first art deco structure and first skyscraper in the city, and now is a clean and quiet hotel that caters to guests heading to the nearby Financial District, as well as families looking to hit the big downtown attractions like Quincy Market and the New England Aquarium. Readers praise the efficient, professional staff.

Room
The guest rooms are relatively spacious, with high ceilings and crown moldings; some overlook the waterfront. They have 42-inch HDTV's, black-out curtains, spacious work areas with ergonomic chairs, in-room refrigerators and down pillows and comforters. The large windows actually open, which is a rarity for downtown Boston hotels.
Tip For extra legroom, ask for a room at the end of the hallway.
Bathroom
Bathrooms come equipped with hair dryers, marble baths and Peter Thomas Roth amenities. Deluxe rooms offer terry cloth robes.

Originally the Batterymarch Building, the Art Deco beauty is a true piece of Boston architectural history. Inside, the lobby's mahogany paneling and soft gold lighting give the whole outfit an old-school Mad Men vibe.
