The hotel

As synonymous with Boston as the eponymous tea party and cream pie, Hilton Boston Park Plaza has been a landmark on the city’s hotel circuit since it opened 90 years ago. Reinterpreted for the 21st century traveller with a $100 million mega-makeover, it now adds contemporary décor and mod-cons to its timeless elegance. And you’re in good company, with all bar two US Presidents staying here since it opened. It’s easy to see why, with a top-drawer location near Boston Common. Of course, they wouldn’t all have experienced today’s attractions, which include a mammoth 20,000 SF Health Club, the nightly cocktail hour (well 5 hours) in the Library, and the New England inspired dining of its Off the Common restaurant, with Boston’s signature lobster rolls a menu favourite.

Linda (overnight) assisted us after arriving via overnight travel. Her service was excellent making sure we were comfortable and checked in quickly in order to get rest. She was extraordinarily helpful considering the early morning hour check in.

When we arrived we were greeted by Ahmed and he helped get us and all of our luggage inside efficiently. Jennifer & Richard at the front desk were so helpful and kind. They were immediately available, assisted with all of my questions and found me a great room!

Richard and Nana at the front desk were extremely helpful and considerate. Gave me a little extra time to get everything out of my room. They went beyond the call of duty to make sure the checkout process and ride to the airport went without any issues. Thank you, gentlemen.

The staff here are always so welcoming and the location is fabulous! The rooms are also very spacious! I have made this hotel my first choice when coming to Boston. A special mention to Sean at the reception of the hotel, who in the early morning was very helpful, accommodating and kind! Thank you Sean!! Very much appreciated!!

Had a 2 night stay. Check-in was efficient. Our king room was OK but nothing special. I was surprised to see the ironing board, iron and safe in an alcove hidden behind a curtain rather than behind a door. The space was clearly an old cupboard, so why not leave the door in situ? There was zero in the way of hotel information in the room and I couldn't locate anything via the TV - so I had to look up hotel information on my 'phone! On the first morning we had the breakfast buffet. Big choice of options but the food lacked quality. Extraordinarily, for a 1000 room hotel there was only a single, 4 slot toaster available. Not surprisingly, a queue built up! On the second morning we avoided the very expensive breakfast and ate in the onsite Starbucks. Cheaper and more satisfying. We wanted to do some sightseeing and sought out the concierge staff. They were immensely helpful and booked some tickets for us. The hotel was conveniently located but if I was staying in Boston again, I would choose somewhere else. Read less
