Choosing a terrific hotel when you’re visiting in Boston isn’t typically easy, mainly because there’s so much choice! Obviously, you can opt for something out of the same Boston guidebook that everyone and their sister has checked during the last 5 years, but that does not mean you will have a positive experience (in fact, it’d nearly promise a poor one!). As a substitute, it’s actually a good idea to do the tiniest bit of researching, using your good friend the net. Locals definitely know the better places to stay in their own city, just what the best suites are, and the ultimate occasions to go to their top parts of the city. But you don’t want to be going up to anybody you run into in the airport in Boston, looking for their guidance. So alternatively, we’ve put together a brief list of our 3 favorite hotels in Boston for you. They are the ones we highly recommend to our good friends when they return to visit – but since we really do not want you to believe we’re only being biased, listed here are the comparisons from Yelp.com:
1. Four Seasons Hotel Boston

Luxury at its best. This hotel proves the importance of first impressions and hospitality. We experienced nothing but absolute professionalism and kindness from the doormen, the hostess, the waiters and the front desk.
We enjoyed crab chowder on Thursday and crab cake benedicts at brunch on Sunday. Everything was delicious and everyone was wonderful. It’d be nice to stay there some time. If their restaurant is this nice I’d like to see what their rooms are like.

They always do a great job at this Hotel. They understand what 5 star service is all about. Every year the same people are working there. Excellent Hotel, excellent service

3. Charles Hotel

A great hotel with a significant legacy. And some of the best chocolate martinis in the area. Most universities in smaller towns would be lucky to have a quality hotel of this ilk nearby.
