First, a couple of super-luxury choices:

Eliot Hotel - Located on Commonwealth Avenue, at the western edge of Back Bay, this luxurious all-suite hotel is perfect for families and groups.  It's close to Fenway and BU, yet offers all of the convenience of Back Bay.  When you're checking rates, look for special packages . . . the Eliot often puts together very, very tempting deals.  Plus, it's home to two of Boston's best restaurants

The Charlesmark Hotel, located on Boylston Street right on the finish line of the Boston Marathon, is a small boutique hotel with "insider secret" status among its fans - although it's not that much of a secret, as it's often fully booked.  Getting to Fenway Park from the Charlesmark is easy - just a quick walk down Boylston Street.

The Sheraton Boston Hotel and the Hilton Back Bay Boston, located next to Prudential Center and the Hynes Auditorium, are primarily business hotels - which means that you can sometimes find very good rates for weekends and other times when business travel is slow.   At other times, they're pricey, but have very nice facilities, as they cater to upper-end business travelers.  Both hotels are close to Fenway Park, plus you're near great shopping in Pru Center.
