Fodor's Expert Review
Located in historic Faneuil Hall, the Millennium Bostonian Hotel is a lovely, family-friendly option within walking distance of the New England Aquarium, Quincy Market, and the North End. Guests are a blend of business travelers heading downtown, and families who are there to hit the big sights. The hotel's restaurant, North 26, serves a little bit of everything.
Tip Faneuil Hall can be a mob scene during the high tourist seasons, so keep that in mind if you're not big into crowds and noise.

What's Nearby
Getting Around
The closest T stop to the hotel is Haymarket, which carries the Green and Orange Lines. Government Center, which has the Blue Line, is also just a 6-minute walk away. Most guests do a significant amount of walking, since they're located within one of the city's biggest tourists districts.
Restaurants
The Faneuil Hall area is filled with restaurants, many of whom are eager to overcharge for sub-par food. For fast bites, head to the Boston Public Market (4-minute walk), an indoor spot with stalls from many area farmers and restaurants. For the lobster roll of your dreams, wander over into the North End and grab a spot at Neptune Oyster Co. (5-minute walk). But keep in mind, you may have to wait in line, because they don't take reservations.
Bars
Faneuil Hall has an extremely lively bar scene, particularly with college kids and twenty-somethings. Popular pubs, many of which have live music, include the Bell in Hand Tavern (2-minute walk) and Hennessy's (1-minute walk). If it's around 10pm, expect to wait in line with the bros. If you want to grab a drink in a spot where your feet won't stick to the floor, head to Bostonia Public House (4-minute walk)/
