Top Back Bay East Hotel Reviews

Harborside Inn Of Boston

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely wonderful stay! Historic and Right in the heart of city life."

Omni Parker House

10/10 Excellent

"👻 The Omni Parker House was our favourite hotel of the whole trip. As soon as we checked in, the staff member gave me a little sheet of ghost stories and facts about the hotel, which was such a fun touch and immediately made me love the place. 🏨 It’s a huge, historic hotel with so much character and history. You can really feel that you’re staying somewhere with stories behind it. 🛁 Our bathroom was luxe, the room was spacious and the bed was huge and super comfortable. 🍽️ Room service was quite expensive, but honestly, that was probably my only real negative. ✨ We absolutely loved our stay here and would happily come back. The history, atmosphere and little details made it feel like much more than just a hotel."
