Why We Like It

The Beacon Hill Hotel is lavish and beautiful, particularly for guests who want to stay right in Beacon Hill. Its Charles Street location can't be beat.

Fodor's Expert Review

This home away from home—or, rather, full-service version of home where you hardly have to lift a finger —is within walking distance of the Public Garden, Back Bay, Government Center, and the river Esplanade. The intimate hotel on Charles Street in Beacon Hill is housed in two meticulously renovated 19th-century brick town houses. A petite rooftop deck is good for lounging while overlooking the cobblestone streets.

Tip Chances are, you'll find the best rate by booking direct. If you find something cheaper, be sure to let the hotel know.
