Description:
This five-story boutique hotel in the heart of Kenmore Square boasts extensive business features as well as luxurious amenities such as Frette linens and large marble bathrooms. My favorite guest rooms are the huge Commonwealth units; each has a king bed and a heavy curtain that draws across the center of the room, separating the sleeping area and the "parlor." These rooms overlook the bustling street, outdoor restaurant seating, and the upgraded square's new bus station. You might prefer a Fenway room -- they're smaller, but they face the legendary ballpark (directly across the Mass. Pike). Formerly quite scruffy, Kenmore Square has undergone a face-lift -- helped immeasurably by the 2003 opening of this hotel. It draws a lot of business from nearby Boston University and from local cultural institutions.
