The Best Places to Stay in Boston, MA

Hilton Boston Logan Airport

The Boston Hilton at Logan Airport is the perfect place to stay if you're leaving for the airport or need to stay near Logan. What's cool about staying there is that the best way to reach the rest of the city, which is across the harbor, is by taking a water taxi across the harbor to Long Wharf. You'll get a scenic tour of the harbor every time you go to and fro! The best bet is to go by foot and take a water shuttle - which takes just minutes. You can also take a cab from the hotel into the downtown area. The hotel itself has grand views of the skyline and the airport.

• Beautiful views of the Boston city skyline - especially from the higher floors


• Olympic size swimming pool and state of the art fitness center


• The perfect grounds for running, walking, and enjoying the harbor views


• On-site restaurants, clean rooms, and adjacent location to the airport - you can't get any closer (noise is not an issue here in terms of the planes - I stayed in a room facing the airport and heard no air traffic all night. It's also fun to watch the constant activity.)
