The Colonnade Hotel

The 21 Best Hotels in Boston

"Located walking distance from the Prudential Center, the Public Garden, Fenway Park, and the South End, the Colonnade is within reach of Boston's key sights. Owned by the same family since opening in 1971, the hotel has long set the standard for customer service—all while delivering a cheeky sense of fun. A 2020 renovation brought a welcome freshening-up to the rooms. Midcentury modern furniture is a great contrast with those stunning floor-to-ceiling glass windows, which have become a Colonnade trademark. It also features one of the most covetable amenities in all of Boston: a rooftop pool." - Shannon McMahon, Todd Plummer
