What the Boston Hotel Buckminster lacks in interior opulence,this historic hotel makes up for in architectural grandeur,location, and price points.Built in 1897 by famed local architect Stanford White,the Buckminster was one of the first hotels constructed in the city.Its interior shows its age,although the standard rooms are comfortable and clean.The Buckminster, located a minute ’s walk from the T in the heart of Kenmore Square,is especially convenient for travellers with business at Boston University or the Longwood Medical Area.The hotel ’s Japanese restaurant serves American breakfast.

Sandwiched between the Beacon Hill and Government Centre,the Holiday Inn is a great bet for the business travellers it targets.The hotel ’s 303 guest rooms all contain work desks and are internet accessible,and summer visitors can enjoy an outdoor pool in addition to 24-hour gym access.The hotel offers more than 5,400- square-feet of meeting space in three function rooms,and Foster ’s Grille restaurant specialises in Boston seafood, although guests might be better off taking the short walk to Faneuil Hall and Beacon Hill for a wide selection of top-notch eats.

In a city where parking is about as elusive as a Red Sox World Series victory,and exorbitantly expensive when located,the MidTown Hotel is an incredible find.In addition to free parking,the hotel offers a great location in close proximity to the businesses and shops of the Back Bay,with easy highway access.Owned and operated by the proprietors of the swank Colonnade, the MidTown has an outdoor pool,and offers basic,but well-kept rooms.However, the good price isn ’t for nothing:while rooms do have internet access,and board rooms are available,there is no business centre on premises and the MidTown ’s restaurant is open only for breakfast.

Considered one of Boston ’s best-kept secret hotels,the Newbury Guest House located on the famed shopping street,is the equivalent of finding a 50%markdown\nat nearby Louis Boston.Charming and reasonably priced,this brick brownstone originally was built in 1882 as a private residence and retains its 19th Century\nVictorian style alongside modern amenities such as in-room data ports.Guests enjoy complimentary breakfast in the parlour,as well as close proximity to public transportation and the businesses of the Back Bay.

Travellers with business at the many hospitals that call the Longwood medical area home,have a clean,reasonably-priced option in the Inn at Longwood Medical.The property,in the thick of the medical district, is close to public transportation and offers high-speed internet access in all guests rooms,although it is a bit far afield from most of the city ’s financial services companies.But smokers take notice:in deference to its many guests from the\nhealth services field,the Inn is 100% non-smoking.
