The Kimpton Onyx Hotel Boston, an upscale boutique hotel featuring stylish red and black decor, offers a convenient location near Boston's sports and entertainment center, TD Garden, lively nearby nightlife, and Faneuil Hall Marketplace.
One of the top Boston boutique hotels, the Onyx's West End location near TD Garden puts it a few blocks to the north of downtown Boston - about an 8-10 minute walk, depending on where you are going. If you're looking for a downtown Boston hotel, the Onyx is a great option.

Restaurants and pubs near the Onyx
The area around TD Garden is famous for its sports bars, Irish pubs, and bistros, and the Onyx is surrounded by lots of terrific options. Here are a few of my personal favorites:
The Fours (166 Canal St) - The ultimate sports bar, named in honor of legendary Bruins player Bobby Orr (#4); also serves tasty pub food - excellent place for a casual dinner if you want to watch a game on the big screen.
McGann's Irish Pub (197 Portland St) - Excellent Irish and American pub food, plus plenty of big screens and occasionally live Irish music in the evenings.
Saus (33 Union St) - Belgian waffles and fries with addictively good sauces - doesn't get better than this!
From Saus, you're only a few steps away from Faneuil Hall Marketplace, where you'll find plenty of restaurants and a Great Food Hall. A couple of Boston's oldest restaurants, Union Oyster House and Durgin Park, are nearby.
