Boston's North End, or "Little Italy" as its also known, is an historic area, where you'll find plenty of fascinating sights. Part of the city's Freedom Trail, it's a labyrinth of narrow roads, which are home to some of Boston's oldest buildings — indeed it is the city's oldest residential neighbourhood and can trace its roots as far back as the 1630s. We've discovered a couple of hotels that we think are worth recommending here; both waterfront properties — one large and modern, the other a more intimate inn with just ten rooms. For further inspiration, check out the selection in nearby West End.
Boston (Boston Harbour)
Fantastic inn with a unique location on Boston's Harbour. Stay for breathtaking 180-degree sea and city vistas. The spacious contemporary rooms have luxurious amenities and nautical touches; make sure to book one with a balcony. It feels like being at sea with luxury yachts as your only neighbours.
Boston (Boston Harbour)
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. Take advantage of two restaurants and the expansive gym and spa, as well as the water-facing terrace sit-out area.
July sits at the heart of the European and North American summer, and some cities simply come into their own at this time of year. The key is choosing destinations where the heat and the crowds are either an asset or easy to navigate, where the long evenings extend the pleasure of being outside, and where the city's own summer culture — its outdoor concerts, its festivals, its evening terraces — is in full swing. Here are five cities that make July very well.
