Firstly, Boston is our favourite city in the USA. It's clean, safe, easily navigable and there is an endless array of wonderful restaurants, museums and things to do. My partner and I just returned from a two-night stay at The Langham Hotel and we were very pleasantly surprised. The hotel is in a great location, set on a beautiful park and within a five-minute (or so) walk of Faneuil Hall Marketplace and many historical attractions including King's Chapel and the Granary Burying Ground. The New England Aquarium and the North End are also about 7-10 minutes away.
The hotel has a very European sensibility to it. From the cozy lobby and elegant bar to the professional yet friendly staff. Our room was bright, handsomely decorated with beautiful silk draperies, rich fabrics and was spacious enough for the two of us. The bed was quite literally the most comfortable of any hotel.
This hotel also has a great Cafe that serves an exceptional brunch on Sunday. Although pricey, the cuisine is outstanding and well-presented - spot on for what one would expect from a luxury hotel. It also has an awesome health and fitness club with swimming pool and spa treatments available.
