Frommer's Review

This plush boutique hotel opened in 2004 on a side street near North Station and TD Banknorth Garden, within easy walking distance of downtown, Beacon Hill, and the commuter rail to the North Shore. The 10-story hotel is contemporary in style, decorated in soothing jewel tones with sleek lines and high ceilings that make the decent-size rooms feel even bigger. Each unit in the hotel, an eco-friendly Kimpton property, holds a large work desk and has a well-appointed bathroom. The best accommodations are the top-floor suites, but any room with a floor-to-ceiling window feels like a mini-palace. This neighborhood is in transition, but it's improving quickly.

Facilities:
Lounge; exercise room; access to nearby health club; 24-hr. room service; massage; same-day dry cleaning; rooms for those w/limited mobility

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
