Hotel Commonwealth

This five-story boutique hotel in the heart of Kenmore Square draws a lot of business from nearby Boston University and from local cultural institutions. It boasts extensive business features as well as luxurious amenities such as Frette linens and large marble bathrooms. My favorite guest rooms are the huge Commonwealth units; each has a king bed and a heavy curtain that draws across the center of the room, separating the sleeping area and the "parlor." These rooms overlook the bustling street, outdoor restaurant seating, and the bus station (and attendant traffic) at the center of the square. You might prefer a Fenway room -- they're smaller, but they face the legendary ballpark, which lies across the Massachusetts Turnpike.
