Millennium Bostonian Hotel

Across the street from Faneuil Hall Marketplace, this relatively small hotel offers excellent service and features that make it competitive with larger rivals such as the nearby Boston Marriott Long Wharf. It's popular with business travelers who want a break from the convention grind and with vacationers who appreciate the boutique atmosphere. Guest rooms fill three brick 19th-century buildings. All cool neutrals and clean lines, they have Frette linens and down comforters on pillow-top beds. Rooms vary in size; in half of them, French doors open onto small private balconies. My favorites overlook the marketplace, which is lively but not noisy, thanks to good soundproofing.

Facilities:
Restaurant; lounge; babysitting; concierge; small exercise room; access to nearby health club ($10); room service
