Boston Holidays

A grand luxury hotel with a rich history

The ‘grand dame’ of Boston, the Fairmont Copley Plaza is more than just a hotel stay. With decadent interiors, peerless levels of service and countless stories to tell it will have hotel connoisseurs drooling.

It’s hard to imagine a more convenient location from which to explore historical Boston on foot, than the Hyatt Centric. Just a stone’s throw from historical Faneuil Hall, you’re never more a couple of minutes from a must-see city attraction.

If your definition of a good city break includes restaurants, entertainment, and shopping bags you’ve come to the right place. Housed in a pair of Gothic-revival buildings The Godfrey offers that rare combination of character, great service and a plum location.

In a city brimming with history, it’s hardly surprising that Boston’s waterfront gets overlooked by visitors. If you’re considering a stay here, the Scandinavian-chic Envoy is the perfect base for imbibing the buzz of Boston’s trendy Seaport District.

Built above a magnificent double-arch waterfront portico that straddles part of the historic Rowes Wharf Harbor, The Boston Harbor Hotel is in a league of its own. Check-in here for sumptuous accommodation, world-class dining, and a dreamy waterfront location.

See Massachusetts’s main highlights while learning about its whale-related history. Travel inland to the beautiful Berkshires where Moby Dick author Herman Melville lived, and learn about the legacy of the rightly abandoned whaling industry. You can spot whales on boat trips, and maybe even from the shore.

Driving through New England is spellbindingly beautiful. See wind-beaten coastlines peppered with sailing boats, dotted with lighthouses, and swathed in dunes. Visit cities with history and heritage proudly displayed in architecture, museums, and monuments. And explore rugged wilderness so enchanting it inspired great writers like Emerson and Thoreau.

Boston dates to the 1600s, and its history is alive and vibrant in its hordes of heritage sites. A couple of hours’ drive away, the bustle of the city fades away as Cape Cod welcomes you with sandy beaches, quaint towns, and succulent seafood.
