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.

Glorious hotel. Incredible food! Both the food that was provided for the event as well as in the lobby restaurant. Really great that food allergies were handled with ease. Spacious room. Lovely holiday decor! Quiet. Great location.

Watch out for the $35 daily destination charge or fee for the privilege of using wifi. They didn't even have the grace to tell me about it at check in. This is such a dodgy practice, solely to make the hotel appear cheaper in search results. Terrible value for money, expensive, dishonourable.

Wonderful way to kick-off the holiday season! My husband and I came to Boston with our sons to visit our family for Thanksgiving. The hotel was beautifully decorated for the winter holidays in the entrance and lobby. The front desk staff were warm and friendly. We asked for a rollaway bed for my older son (so my boys can have separate sleeping spaces), and the staff brought the bed to the room right away, and asked our preference on where to place it and then made it up for us. The beds were very comfortable and the room was perfect for the 4 of us. I loved the Guest texting feature to request anything we needed, and also used it to request a late check out (which we knew wouldn’t be guaranteed with the holiday, but they came through for us!) We did drinks the first night and the boys had dinner at the restaurant by the lobby. The waiters were very nice and food and drinks were great! Next time we hope to stay for breakfast as that looked really good too. The Starbucks connected to the lobby was very convenient. And parking our car was easy with the valet service. We look forward to coming back soon! Read less

Now that this hotel is a Hilton, it makes sense for me to use it rather than when it was a standalone enterprise. Perfect location, and if you have the luck of meeting Jennifer at the front desk.. that will be your lucky day. She goes above and beyond to make sure that you're stay is perfect. I have met her twice and she is awesome.

The rooms may be small but the service was incredible. The housekeeper, I think her name was Dulce- 9th floor, actually gave me a loan of her personal phone charger cord for the night. I was there for a business event and forgot my phone charger in Canada. I didn't have time to go to CVS to purchase a cord. She was a life saver. I will never… Read more
