Holiday Inn Boston at Beacon Hill

Just off one of Beacon Hill's main streets, this 15-story hotel courts leisure travelers with its easy access to downtown and the Back Bay, the river, and Cambridge. Especially appealing to vacationing families is the seasonal outdoor pool. Guest rooms are quite large, with contemporary furnishings and picture-window views of the city, the State House, or the parking structure -- ask for a room on a high floor, facing Blossom Street if possible. The building is part of a small retail complex with a Whole Foods supermarket, a drugstore, and a handful of shops. Because it's adjacent to Massachusetts General Hospital, the hotel books a fair number of patients and relatives, and the staff is sensitive to their needs.
