Whether you are in search of a luxury base or a chic boutique; perhaps you need a waterfront position or you would rather something downtown? Our hotel experts' collection is wide and varied, so why not browse through the list to start planning your next break?

For downtown

Hotel Indigo Boston Garden is a boutique-style business hotel located in Boston's North End district, known for its rich history and burgeoning cafe culture. Rooms have a grown-up feel and indulgent spa bathrooms. Complete with a workspace, bar, and restaurant. Plus pets are welcome, however, the price tag is $75.
The Colonnade is a contemporary downtown stay offering stylish minimalist rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows. The popular brasserie and rooftop pool & bar make this an alluring choice. Best yet, pets get as pampered as their owners with an in-room bed and bowl, dog walking facilities, and dog and cat food available!

For families

The Boxer is a boutique contemporary stay perfectly positioned in Boston's historic Bulfinch Triangle. Bedrooms have a classic loft apartment aesthetic and the city's main sights are just a stroll away. With children under 12 (and pets) staying for free - this is an appealing choice.
Kimpton Onyx is a sleek hotel situated in the Italian district of North-End. Rooms are quirky yet stylish. Adults will be spoilt with in-room massages and cocktails at the Ruby bar. While the property goes out of its way to accommodate kids - with gifts such as a goldfish in the room, a kids’ happy hour, and kid-sized bathrobes. Plus, of course, pets are equally well provided for.
Omni Parker House historic hotel has hosted everyone from Charles Dickens and Mark Twain to Malcolm X. Live out Gilded Age fantasies from the minute you enter the vast lobby. With all the expected five-star luxuries plus some fun added extras for kids (think bunk-bed rooms packed with toys) - everyone will be spoilt here! Be sure to weigh your pet before you come, as they must be under 25lb to stay.
Nine Zero is perfectly located beside Boston Common, just two blocks from historic Beacon Hill. Interiors are spacious and contemporary while the best rooms have fabulous park views from the floor-to-ceiling windows. Complete with a gym, spa, and bicycles to hire - this family friendly (and pet friendly) stay has it all.

For great value

Staypineapple Boston is a quirky and fun hotel located in Boston's South End with a bar and restaurant. Rooms are compact but comfortable with cosy duvets and fluffy bathrobes. Guests are provided with bikes to explore the city. Pets stay at no extra charge and are provided with beds and bowls - an easy and well priced option.

For a waterfront stay

Battery Wharf Hotel is a modern hotel that was part of Boston's Battery Wharf development in the city's harbour area. Many of the property's light-filled and spacious rooms boast sea views and dual aspect. This pet friendly option offers two restaurants and a spa, making it an indulgent waterfront choice.

For city style

Be welcomed at Moxy Boston Downtown with a check-in truck and photo-booth. This Theatre District boutique-style hotel covers the basics (stylish well-designed loft-like rooms with great views), then adds a layer of fun on top. Grab a bite at the 24-hour market place, before lounging by rooftop bar. Pets are very welcome although there is a $50 charge. A youthful stay.
The Verb Hotel is a classic 1959 hotel, located in Boston’s hip Fenway neighbourhood. The hotel has been painstakingly restored to encapsulate the history and future of Fenway's vibrant music scene. The decor is a perfect marriage of modern style and homage to the area's cultural roots. A characterful and trendy spot with pet friendly rooms, however, there is a small dog only policy.

For luxury

Seaport Hotel is a real has-it-all property from the heated indoor pool and city garden to the library and multiple dining options. Rooms are smart and contemporary and most offer superb ocean views. Pets are welcomed with water bowls and toys, as well as grassy outside areas for walks and fresh air along the waterfront.
Fairmont Copley Plaza is Boston's landmark luxury hotel which has been in operation since 1912. Expect historic glitz and glamour with 5-star service and great amenities. A local favourite for upscale events, the lobby is always buzzing with a chic crowd. An indulgent pet-friendly choice.
The Whitney Hotel is a luxury boutique set at the foot of Beacon Hill. Rooms are stylish and feature white subway-tiled bathrooms, plus lovely city views. The family run Italian/American restaurant adds a charming personal touch while pets are equally pampered with gourmet treats and complimentary baskets.

For pet services

Hotel Commonwealth is a stylish property set in vibrant Kenmore Square, overlooking Fenway Park (home to the Red Sox). Boasting a hugely popular restaurant plus an oyster bar with fabulous cocktails. While pet parents are out and about, pets can be booked into pet-sitting, grooming, walking, or even massage services!

For a boutique

Revere Hotel Boston Common is a chic boutique offering a perfectly central location with bars, restaurants, cultural attractions and shops just a stroll away. However, the property's real selling point is the roof terrace with fireside seating and a bar. Filled with eclectic art and offering luxurious rooms - this is a chic choice made only better for pet parents by the in-room list of pet-friendly bars and restaurants in the area.

For contemporary style

The Envoy Hotel is a trendy hotel in the bustling district of Seaport. Rooms are contemporary with floor to ceiling windows offering dramatic city or harbour views and large bathrooms with walk-in rain showers. Complete with a roof terrace bar and a popular restaurant, this is a modern pet-friendly choice in a convenient location.

For a historic hotel
