5 Boston hotels with the best amenities

Hotels in Boston, Massachusetts, are stepping up their hospitality game. Gone are the days of staying at a hotel simply for a little shut eye and continental breakfast, because now you can whip up espressos in your guestroom, lounge around in plush bathrobes, and order your choice of fluffiness from a pillow menu.

Luxury hotels in Boston know a little something about royal treatment—complimentary champagne upon arrival, designer toiletries, and cloud-soft bedding are just a few of the tricks up their sleeves. They even slip in small details that make a big impression, from heated towel racks to daily water bottle deliveries.

Based on verified consumer hotel reviews on Expedia.com, we’ve rounded up the top five Boston hotels with the best amenities. Just in time for your summer travels to Beantown, the following are the most-talked about hotels that have everyone making excuses to book flights to Boston:

Guestrooms are decked out with Samsung LED Smart TVs, Stearns & Foster pillow-top mattresses, designer toiletries, and premium Wi-Fi.

 

One verified Expedia.com reviewer commented, “We were treated like royalty. At check-in we were offered cold hand towels as we waited for our room keys. The room had a heated towel rack, espresso machine, refrigerator, bath robes, slippers, and even an umbrella. The bathroom was gorgeous.”
