Boston hotel recommendation
Need a recommendation for a 1 or 2 night stay in April (unfortunately on Patriot's weekend). Friend's wedding is right by the Common so walking distance (while still having good parking) would be best.
Quick replies encouraged as I kind of have to book today. |

The Taj (used to be the ritz) is fantastic and right on the common. The 4 Seasons is right on the common and also great. If you can figure out what's available, I'll provide feedback on which is better... EDIT: check your PM |

I've heard good things about the commonwealth hotel, but I think that's closer to Fenway.

Right by the Common you will find the Four Seasons and the Taj (old Ritz) on one side, and the new Ritz on the other side. There are also several hotels in the Copley area which is not too far away.

I really like the Palomar in Dallas. It's a Kimpton hotel. Kimpton owns the Nine Zero in Boston, which seems to be highly rated on tripadvisor. (#8 ranked)
They say it's a block from the Common. http://www.ninezero.com/ |

equ-- if you let one of us know where your event is, we can let you know which ones are close by.
The Common is surrounded by Back Bay, Beacon Hill, and Downtown... which one is most convenient depends on what end is closest to your event, though it is pretty easy to get around the area. Like the others mentioned earlier, the marathon might make it difficult to find a room at a reasonable rate... you might need to be a bit flexible.

Event is at Union Club, pretty much on the common. Will end around midnight or 1am Saturday... With prices looking like they are, we may just come up for one night.

The Inn at St. Botolph is an absolutely lovely place to stay. The location is probably not perfect, and you have to use a public garage, but they have very nicely appointed rooms and really nice beds.
