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 luxury hotels in Boston.

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

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.

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.

Park Plaza Hotel at Christmas

Although the beautiful Park Plaza Hotel appeals at any time of the year, its lush Christmas decorations make it an especially perfect choice for the holidays.

I love coming here for functions during the holidays because when I see the huge Christmas tree in the grand lobby, the festive garlands, and all the sparkling lights reflected on the mellow wood, I feel transported back to a more gracious time.

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 but so well-hidden from the rest of the city that it fits squarely in the "best-kept Boston secret" category, is just a couple of blocks away.
