The hotel

As synonymous with Boston as the eponymous tea party and cream pie, Hilton Boston Park Plaza has been a landmark on the city’s hotel circuit since it opened 90 years ago. Reinterpreted for the 21st century traveller with a $100 million mega-makeover, it now adds contemporary décor and mod-cons to its timeless elegance. And you’re in good company, with all bar two US Presidents staying here since it opened. It’s easy to see why, with a top-drawer location near Boston Common. Of course, they wouldn’t all have experienced today’s attractions, which include a mammoth 20,000 SF Health Club, the nightly cocktail hour (well 5 hours) in the Library, and the New England inspired dining of its Off the Common restaurant, with Boston’s signature lobster rolls a menu favourite.

Absolutely love this hotel. I would highly recommend and next time we visit Boston we will definitely stay here.

Customer Service at the front desk was excellent although the concierge was often out during our 4 day stay. The only reason I am giving 4 out of 5 is due to the tiny bathroom. Read less

We stayed there for the 4th of July festivities. THE GOOD: The hotel was in a very convenient location, and we were able to walk everywhere. We had actually stayed there years ago before Hilton acquired it - we didn't realize it until we got to the hotel and recognized it. I liked our room better this time.

We stayed there for the 4th of July festivities. THE GOOD: The hotel was in a very convenient location, and we were able to walk everywhere. We had actually stayed there years ago before Hilton acquired it - we didn't realize it until we got to the hotel and recognized it. I liked our room better this time. It was larger, but it could have been because we ended up getting the ADA accessible room which is more spacious. The room was clean and the bed was super comfortable. THE NOT SO GOOD (BEWARE): At checkout, we noticed there was a $35/day "Destination Fee." When we spoke to the front desk, we were told that it's standard if we book through a third party. He said the email confirmation and front desk at check-in should have told us about it. We were NOT told at check-in, and the email confirmation, which I pulled up for him, said nothing about it. In the end, he begrudgingly credited us back. Read less

This hotel was ok, but the whole advantage of staying at a Hilton is that you know what you are getting. However, here the rooms and beds were not really up to that standard. We book at Hiltons partly because we have a friend with back problems who generally doesn't have issues with the Hilton beds. However the ones in our room were very… Read more
This hotel was ok, but the whole advantage of staying at a Hilton is that you know what you are getting. However, here the rooms and beds were not really up to that standard. We book at Hiltons partly because we have a friend with back problems who generally doesn't have issues with the Hilton beds. However the ones in our room were very hard/substandard. She had to go to Target to get mattress foam after the first night. The bathroom is also tiny tiny, and the door is so thin you can hear EVERYTHING when someone is using it. The location is great, and the staff was friendly, but this was just not the room I was expecting at this price point. Read less
