More information on Hotel Commonwealth
Like a Hollywood starlet strolling the red carpet in vintage Chanel, this boutique hotel is a hot young thing with a traditional, elegant look. Opened in 2003, the five-story building in the heart of Kenmore Square boasts extensive business features as well as luxurious amenities such as Frette linens and large marble bathrooms. Formerly quite scruffy, Kenmore Square has undergone a face-lift -- helped immeasurably by the opening of this hotel, which draws a lot of business from nearby Boston University and from local cultural institutions. 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 upgraded square's new bus station. You might prefer a Fenway room -- they're smaller, but they face the legendary ballpark (directly across the Mass. Pike). Facilities: 2 restaurants (seafood, bistro); lounge; exercise room; concierge; business center; room service; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; rooms for those w/limited mobility Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
