The Exterior of the Copley Square Hotel at Night

When visitors to Boston ask me which area of Boston they should stay in if money is no object, I always recommend Copley Square.  To me, Copley Square is the epi-center of Boston’s tourism business, with lots of shops, restaurants, and tourist attractions right at your doorstep.  The only negative, of course, is that this area of Boston can be expensive to stay in.

The Copley Square Hotel, a boutique hotel that recently completed an $18 million dollar renovation, is offering a length of stay package to visitors.  The package offers 10% off two nights, 25% of off three nights, and 35% off of four nights or more, based upon availability.  Regular rates are pretty good for the area, so this discount makes it even more affordable.

The Copley Square Hotel offers 143 newly renovated rooms and suites.  There’s a variety of amenities included in the room rate, such as high-speed internet access, access to the hotel’s fitness center, turndown service, overnight shoe shine, bottled water, a wine-hour from 5pm-6pm, and much more.  The hotel is located directly in Copley Square, across from the Copley Place and Prudential Center Malls.

Luck o' the Irish: a four leaf clover

Luck of the Irish! St. Patrick’s day is just about two months away, and if you plan to party it up that weekend in Boston, Massachusetts, you’d better get a move on. It’s on a Tuesday this year, so you could make a long weekend of it. (Can you tell I’m a planner?) Unless you’re got the luck of a Leprechaun and can snag hotels at the very last minute, plan a head and think about booking one of these now:

Omni Parker House

A beautiful hotel very close to the Boston Common. It’s been around since 1855, and the hotel recently underwent a $30 million renovation, so everything’s in tip top shape inside. The Early Bird rate is $187 online at the moment! It’s on the Freedom Trail, and you can easily get to South Boston, where the parade is held, on the T.

Boston Park Plaza Hotel and Towers

I’ve stayed here before, and it’s a really reasonably priced hotel located smack in the middle of everything – literally a few blocks from the Boston Public Gardens. There are several restaurants on site, the beds are super comfy and the staff is really helpful. Rooms are around $150 for St. Patrick’s Day weekend, which is a steal!

Bullfinch Hotel

You can walk to Faneuil Hall from here, as well as to Little Italy and the Boston Common. The decor is classy and modern, and there’s a great tapas bar inside called the Flatiron Tapas Bar. It’s super easy to hop on the T from here, too.
