Park Plaza Hotel Boston

One of the grandest Boston hotels

---

When famed hotelier E.M. Statler built the Park Plaza Hotel Boston in 1927, it instantly became one of the top Boston luxury hotels.

The Park Plaza Boston Hotel continues to be one of the city's most elegant landmark hotels, located in downtown Boston across from the beautiful Public Garden.

Gorgeous public spaces make the historic Boston Plaza Hotel a popular meeting place for locals as well as visitors. 

The Park Plaza Hotel Boston's Grand Ballroom with its crystal chandeliers and gilt decor is a popular venue for weddings and other celebrations as well as conferences and conventions.  A long list of celebrities and dignitaries have stayed here.

A city within a city

Statler called his hotel "a city within a city," and that's still true.

Not only is the hotel huge - 941 rooms and suites - but some of the city's most popular restaurants are under its roof.  You'll find Pairings with its yummy snacks and small plates, McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant, Finale, the Smith & Wollensky Steakhouse located in the nearby Castle at Park Plaza, and more.

Don't forget to check for best rates.  The Park Plaza has a wide range of room sizes and amenities, so you'll usually find a wide range of rates and even hotel "special" packages.  You may be surprised by how affordable a room or even a grand suite can be.

I spent a few days here when attending a conference in Boston when I was a student.  My room was small but perfect for one person - and staying in the Park Plaza felt like being a guest in a palace. 

Swan's Cafe even boasts its own Tea Sommelier, one of the few in the world, who conducts special tea tastings for guests during afternoon tea.

What's in the neighborhood?

The Park Plaza Hotel overlooks the Public Garden and anchors a section of downtown Boston now called "Park Plaza," home to even more great restaurants. 

Boston's Theatre District is next door - literally, about a block away - making the Park Plaza a favorite for visitors in town for a weekend of theater. 

Tranquil Bay Village, with charming streets filled Federal-style houses and art deco buildings, is just a couple of blocks away.

More about the Park Plaza Hotel Boston

Unlike a lot of newer hotels with "cookie cutter" accommodations, the Park Plaza offers rooms and suites in a wide variety of sizes, ranging from fairly small and affordable to quite grand. 

If you're looking for Boston accommodations in a convenient, central location and want a low rate, you can sometimes find attractive options here.  While some rooms may be on the small side, that's also true for many hotels in Boston (as well as other large cities). 

However, if you want something large and lavish, you can also find that here - as well as everything in between. 

Rooms have high speed internet connections, and a range of other amenities which vary based on the type of room.

You'll find a nice fitness room for exercise.   And you can't beat the location!
