Best Hotels near Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway

History buffs looking for a place to hang their hats should look no further than The Bostonian Boston. Set within walking distance of most major city attractions, the Bostonian earns high praise from recent visitors who say that the hotel has the best location in town. Previous guests also say the accommodations are exceptionally cozy, thanks to thoughtful touches such as flat-screen TVs, plush bathrobes and eye-popping orange accents. Plus, each room boasts outstanding views of downtown Boston. The hotel itself has plenty to offer, too, including a fully equipped fitness center and the North 26 Restaurant & Bar. Guests also compliment the hotel's excellent customer service, citing the staff as extremely friendly and helpful.

Boasting high-end luxury and an urban locale, the Ames Boston Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton beckons to the modern art lover. Painted all white and splashed with subtle yet colorful accents, the Ames earns high praise for its beautiful design. The hotel's enviable access to Faneuil Hall and the Freedom Trail also makes it an attractive choice for tourists. While most recent guests rave about the property's understated accommodations – appointed with crisp duvets, luxe bathrobes, complimentary Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and iPod docking stations – others lament the high price for parking. Still, most cite the courteous hotel staff as a reason to return. Also, keep in mind that because of the hotel's Hilton ties, members of the Hilton Honors program can earn and use points here. 

This Marriott – which participates in the Marriott Bonvoy program – receives high marks for its location smack dab in the middle of Boston. Guests loved that many of the city's top attractions were within walking distance of the hotel, so much so that travelers recommended future guests leave their cars behind (especially given the hotel's pricey parking fees). Faneuil Hall Marketplace, the New England Aquarium, the Paul Revere House and the Freedom Trail are all less than a half-mile from the hotel's doorstep. Business travelers appreciated the hotel's address as well for its close proximity to the airport (which is about 4 miles east). Accommodations here feature amenities common to Marriott properties, including flat-screen TVs, wireless internet (for a fee), iPod docking stations and coffee makers. To make the most of the hotel's location, visitors recommend booking a room with views of the water. If you can't upgrade, you can still enjoy harbor vistas from the indoor pool's floor-to-ceiling windows. The 24-hour fitness center or the library-style lobby lounge are also prime places to unwind and recharge. There is only one restaurant on-site, the Waterline, but travelers say there are plenty more options close to the hotel. 

Recent guests can't stop raving about the location of the Club Quarters Hotel in Boston. Located in the Financial District within walking distance of the Boston Common, the waterfront and multiple T stations, this Club Quarters outpost provides a great home base for exploring the city, according to reviewers. Guests were just as complimentary about the accommodations, which they said were comfortable and clean, and included amenities such as flat-screen TVs, work desks, Keurig coffee makers and free Wi-Fi access. Travelers can also opt for an upgraded room, which includes a fully equipped kitchenette, while those in town on business can reserve an extended stay apartment. When it's time to dine, the hotel offers an Elephant & Castle Pub and Restaurant, which guests said was also the perfect place to grab a drink after a day walking the Freedom Trail. Aside from the amenities and location, repeat visitors said the friendly staff is what keeps them coming back to the property.
