Hotel Commonwealth
Neighborhood:
Back Bay
Hotel
Commonwealth is the Yankees’ home away from home when they’re on the road in
Boston. It’s classic Boston, with luxuriously comfortable rooms, exceptional
service and classic elegance. And the location knocks it out of the park – it’s
two blocks from the ballpark, in the heart of Back Bay.
The Verb
Hotel
Neighborhood:
Fenway
This vintage
hotel was given a hip makeover with bright pops of color, pop art and music
memorabilia. There’s a fun pool and it’s just a couple minutes to Fenway by
foot.
The Liberty
Neighborhood:
North End/Beacon Hill
Formerly a jail
housing Boston’s most infamous criminals, it’s now notorious for its fun
nightlife, great restaurants and sleek style that marries historic details
(like cell bars) with swanky modern updates.
The Eliot
Hotel
Neighborhood:
Back Bay/Fenway
Built in 1925,
it’s got an air of historic elegance with contemporary European rooms and a
wicked Back Bay location next to the Harvard Club and steps from Newbury Street
shops and restos.
Copley Square
Hotel
Neighborhood:
Back Bay
Part old school,
part modern and urban, this spot is both comfortable and cool. It’s also got an
ace downtown location near Newbury Street.
Revere Boston
Common
Neighborhood:
Back Bay
Classy and
modern, with a rooftop deck, a fun lounge and a great location right off Boston
Common.
Boston Park
Plaza
Neighborhood:
Back Bay
This classic
landmark two blocks from Boston Common recently underwent a great modern
renovation. It’s sleek, classy and historic.
The Lenox
Hotel
Neighborhood:
Back Bay
Property is
historic and elegant, but fitted out with mod cons. Great cocktails at the bar,
and a sweet location one block from Copley Square.
Envoy Hotel
Neighborhood:
Seaport
This one’s not
so close to Fenway, but the hip Fort Point waterfront spot is worth the trip.
It’s got a sweet rooftop bar overlooking the river and swanky, tech-savvy
rooms.
EAT HERE
Eastern Standard, in Hotel Commonwealth’s lobby, is on
the short list for best cocktail joints in Boston, and there’s a rotating
late-night menu from 11pm to 1am. You might just see one of your favorite
sluggers grabbing a post-game bite before retiring upstairs for the night.
You won’t find
any Nathan’s Famous hot dogs at the Boston ballpark. Might as well head in a
different direction with all the savory pig parts you can handle at the Salty
Pig. It’s all about
charcuterie and stinky cheese paired with a solid wine and cocktail list at
this neighborhood joint.
Head to Hojoko to immerse yourself in Japanese pop
culture and enough Izakaya-style eats, frozen cocktails and sake to make you
forget that you’re in hostile territory. You’ll know you’re there when you see
Hojoko’s drunken baby logo.
Once you have
your room key at the Liberty, there’s really no reason to leave this former
lockup. There’s an abundance of options – from seafood at Clink to The Alibi
for cocktails and a fun scene. If you’re dying to escape, take a short walk to Union Oyster House, a seafood spot that’s also Boston’s oldest restaurant.
You can agree to
disagree about baseball, but there’s no denying that Boston has some excellent
options for seafood. Atlantic Fish Company is a haven for award-winning New England
clam chowder, fresh catch of the day options and a raw bar.
STRIP by Strega in the lobby of the Boston Park Plaza
has great steakhouse eats and a Vegas-style atmosphere where the house lights
don’t turn on until 2am.
For hearty
Bavarian-style eats and a beer hall experience, head to Jacob
Wirth. Jake’s has
everything from schnitzel to Boston clam chowda, and yes, boots and buckets o’
beer.
Outlook, the rooftop bar at the Envoy is perfect
for those who prefer their locally-sourced eats with a side of killer skyline
and harbor views.
