Boston's Theatre District is next door to the east - literally, about a block away - making the Park Plaza a favorite for visitors in town for a weekend of theater.
On the other side, to the west, the hotel is only about a block away from Back Bay, with historic Copley Square and Trinity Church, the Boston Marathon Finish Line, and all the boutiques and art galleries along Newbury Street - not to speak of hundreds of excellent restaurants and bistros.
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 behind the hotel.
