Sophisticated Boston is a great city for romance, and its best hotels roll out the red carpet for couples. You'll find a wide choice of grand and suite hotels in Boston proper (and proper it can be). Farther afield find all-season hotels and resorts in the Berkshire Mountains or by the Cape Cod seashore, both a nice drive from Boston.
In the city, forget about driving if you want a stressfree visit. Parking is troublesome in both Boston and Cambridge, and motorists are notorious free spirits. If you drive and stay at one of the Boston hotels with a parking garage, walk or use public or hotel-supplied transportation once you pull into a spot.
Best Boston Hotels for Couples
My sentimental favorite among Boston Hotels is the Ritz-Carlton Boston. The hotel's service, history (it first opened in 1927), and views of the Boston Public Gardens are unparalleled. Check rates.If you want to experience the updated version of this classic hotel, try the modern Ritz-Carlton, Boston Common across the park.
Two other Boston hotels are at the top of their game. Fifteen Beacon and Four Seasons Hotel Boston both have redefined modern luxury. They are expensive, but if you're going to splurge in a city, you can't do better than these hotels.
Talk to older people, and you may find them getting starry-eyed about the Fairmont Copley Plaza (it opened in 1912). It holds two Boston landmarks: the elegant Oak Room for dining and the adjacent Oak Bar, a chic spot to sip a martini or make a proposal. It also boasts one of Boston's best raw bars.
