Back Bay hotels

Back Bay
Boston’s elite hold court in Back Bay’s shops, restaurants, and townhouses. Newbury Street hosts upscale boutiques and cafes, while locals flock to the Prudential Center for shopping and dining. The Central Library in Copley Square nods to the city’s imposing literary tradition and serves as the landmark starting point for the Boston Marathon. The Red Sox and historic Fenway Park are blocks away.

Cambridge
Cambridge’s celebrated universities, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard, take full advantage of the scenic Charles River. Harvard Square, at Massachusetts Avenue and Brattle Street, is a hotbed of activity, both intellectual and otherwise. Down the road, Central Square supports a lively music scene. Young bohemians trend toward neighboring Somerville, north of Cambridge.

Logan International Airport (BOS)
Logan International Airport is located on the island of East Boston, across the Boston Harbor from the rest of the city. The neighborhood offers outstanding views of the harbor and the city skyline. Logan International is accessible to Boston’s MBTA transit via bus. Drivers can access Boston’s unique highway project, the Big Dig, via the Ted Williams Tunnel from the airport.

Quincy Market-Financial-Waterfront
The vendor stalls inside Quincy Market at Faneuil Hall Marketplace sell healthy doses of regional cuisine, especially the popular New England clam chowder. Modern commerce dominates the revitalized Financial District and waterfront area. The Celtics and Bruins play beneath championship banners at TD Banknorth Garden, or “The Garden”. The North End celebrates Boston’s Italian heritage.

Theatre District - Downtown Crossing
Boston’s centerpiece is the Common, America’s oldest public park. The park features a historic graveyard, Swan Boats, and the Frog Pond—an ice skating rink in the winter. The gold dome of the state house sits above the common. The area is heavy with history, and visitors can find references to founding fathers even among the modern buildings of the Theatre District and Downtown Crossing.
