The 21 Best Hotels in Boston

"This centrally-located hotel never drew much attention beyond the business set when it formerly operated as the Hilton Boston Downtown/Faneuil Hall–but after re-opening last year as an independent hotel fresh off a $32 million renovation, The Dagny is attracting a fresh crop of leisure travelers. It’s often said that Boston is one of America’s most walkable cities, and that is certainly the case here: it’s a short stroll away from the North End, the New England Aquarium, historic Beacon Hill, Chinatown, and the Seaport District. Throw in some weekly live jazz music from local Berklee College of Music students, an expanded Fitness Center, and a Clefs d’Or-certified concierge team, and you’ve got a hotel with service and amenities that punch well above their price point, in a city that can be known for its pricey hotels." - Shannon McMahon, Todd Plummer
