Boston Bed and Breakfasts: Book at Stay at a Boston Inn

by Jane Leisteiner

With its myriad of historic and cultural attractions, it’s easy to understand why travelers flock Boston each year. Guests can walk the two-and-a-half mile Freedom Trail that meanders past such famous sites as the Paul Revere House and Old North Church. Quincy Market, which has been open since 1824, is another popular site offering many shops and restaurants. The Boston Athenaeum, built in 1807, is another interesting attraction, serving as a museum, art gallery and a library with more than 700,000 volumes including nearly half of George Washington’s personal library from Mount Vernon.

Outside of the city, there are plenty of fun day trips. A trip the Adams National Historical Park includes plenty of information about the second and sixth presidents. Head to Lexington and Concord to view the sites where the Revolutionary War began. Visiting Harvard and the town of Cambridge is another fun option.

The Boston area not only offers much to do, but some great inns, as well. Here are some of the area’s inns and bed and breakfasts.

The Charles Street Inn, a luxurious Boston inn located in the upscale Beacon Hill neighborhood, is a historic gem. Built in 1860, the inn still maintains many original features, including the working fireplaces that grace each of the nine guest rooms. The rooms, which have been decorated with fine period antiques, also include whirlpool tubs, CD and DVD players and wireless internet. Gift certificates for this inn are available at iLoveInns.com, creating the perfect romantic present.

Travelers booking a stay at the Gryphon House enjoy both the historic charm of an 1890 Richardson Romanesque-style inn, as well as a convenient city location. The historic Massachusetts inn is located just two blocks from the T stop at Kenmore Square and situated between Back Bay and Boston University. Each of the guest rooms has a fireplace and private bath. CD players, DVD players, cable TV and wireless internet are just a few of the amenities. An expanded continental breakfast is served each morning. Gift certificates for the inn are available at iLoveInns.com.

Cambridge is an excellent location for travelers wishing to enjoy Boston, but stay out of the main city center. “A Bed and Breakfast in Cambridge” is just a few minutes’ walk from Harvard Square in a beautifully restored Colonial Revival manor. Each of the guest rooms feature antiques and handmade quilts. A full, gourmet breakfast is served each morning. For an extra value, this inn participates in the Buy-One-Night-Get-One-Night Free program at iLoveInns.com.
