The Bostonian Boston – Charming Boutique Hotel in Historic North End Boston
During our two-day holiday in Boston, we stayed at the The Bostonian Boston Hotel, a boutique hotel with elegant and comfortable rooms. We enjoyed our stay here and this is our full review of the hotel. This article was last updated on 14 November 2019.
The Bostonian Boston
The Bostonian Boston is a charming 4 star hotel located in the North End district of Boston. It was previously known as the “Millennium Bostonian Hotel Boston”.
The boutique hotel offers elegant and comfortable rooms at great rates. The gym on the second floor was small but well-equipped enough for my resistance-training workout. And I liked that it had complimentary fresh fruits and water. There was free WiFi in our room and the signal strength was excellent during our stay.
Our favourite part of the hotel was the awesome lobby, which had a quiet cozy area with plush sofas, stylish furnishings, coffee table books and a warm wood burning fireplace. This was a nice place to sit, relax and warm ourselves up while hiding from the cold winter weather. The North 26 Restaurant and Bar offers delicious food and cocktails.
Elegant and Comfortable Room
We stayed for two nights in the stylish Deluxe Room, which was elegantly designed with a modern touch. The centrepiece of the room was the floor to ceiling headboard which gave the room a luxurious vibe. On the whole, the room felt posh and comfortable at the same time.
Some of the premium rooms even have fireplaces, but our room did not have this cool feature. Our bathroom was simple but very clean and spacious. It was well-stocked with toiletries too.
Good Service
We didn’t have much chance to interact with the staff because we were out exploring Boston most of the time.
However, we were pleasantly surprised when we entered our room on the first day to find a complimentary bottle of champagne and sweet treats from the hotel. This was because the hotel had found out that we were on our honeymoon when we were making our room reservation. The treats (cheese and berries) were even thoughtfully wrapped with cellophane to keep them fresh. The housekeeping service was on point too; our room was kept clean and tidy every day.
Great Location
The Bostonian Boston is in a wonderful location just opposite the Faneuil Hall Marketplace, a tourist favourite that consists of Quincy Market, Fanueil Hall, North Market, and South Market. You can check out our list of places to eat in Quincy Market.
The hotel is also within walking distance (ten minutes or less) of many tourist attractions in the North End neighbourhood, such as Old North Church, Statue of Paul Revere, and more.
Popular eateries like The Daily Catch, Neptune Oyster, and Mike’s Pastry are nearby too!
Conclusion
The Bostonian Boston is a wonderful value-for-money boutique hotel located in the quaint North End neighbourhood, with many nearby tourist attractions.

Hi,
I read that it’s better to stay in Back Bay Area because it’s more central versus North End Area. Was it difficult for you to commute from North End to Back Bay, Beacon Hill & Harvard? Both areas have their pluses..
Did you use the T or Uber? Appreciate your advice.
Hello Paul!
I think the location of your accommodation really depends on your own preference. Back Bay is a bustling district with many retail shops, while North End is a laid-back neighbourhood with various historic landmarks and an Italian-American vibe. Both areas have their fair share of attractions so I wouldn’t say one is more “central” than the other.
It was not difficult to commute around because the main tourist areas are located very near each other (it takes 30 minutes to walk between Back Bay and North End). We used the subway most of the time – it was quite old and there were some delays but it did the job of transporting us around.
Cheers,
Evan
