Parker House Hotel - Boston MA
My wife and I stayed at the Parker House Hotel over Saturday night September 16th, 2006. Our daughter had arranged a room for our 30th anniversary. One mention of that is all it took for VIP service.
If you are literarily minded and prefer historic hotels where service is important look no further than the Parker House when in Boston. The Atlantic Monthly was started in this hotel in 1857. Charles Dickens stayed here on his 1867-68 American tour. Louisa May Alcott, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson frequented the Parker House. Malcomb X and Ho Chi Mhin worked here.
The restaurant is excellent, especially for the over 50 crowd - not loud and frantic! For a romantic dinner, ask for the far left corner table in Parker's Restaurant. That is where John Fitzgerald Kennedy proposed to Jacqueline Lee Bouvier.
