Hotels

Hotels across Massachusetts range from historic inns to luxury to bargain basics

Hotels in Massachusetts service a wide range of needs, tastes, and budgets. Chain hotels in Massachusetts cities, near airports, near the beach towns, and along major highways can range from basic, low-frills lodging to luxurious establishments with spas, fine dining, and many in-room amenities. Lodgings of all sizes and price ranges are available for children and families, and are near to beaches and family activities. Massachusetts hotels serve the needs and budgets of travels from the islands of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket to Cape Cod, the streets of Boston, north and south to Salem and Plymouth, and westward into the Berkshire Mountains and Pioneer Valley.

    XV Beacon

    Stay in one of Boston’s loveliest neighborhoods, close to all that makes the city special

    From its perch in Boston, MA’s Beacon Hill neighborhood, XV Beacon looks out over cobblestoned lamp-lit streets, boutiques and antiques shops. And in one of the country’s most walkable cities, it’s close to the Freedom Trail’s sites, sports venues, museums, theaters and restaurants. But you’ll have to force yourself to leave your room: All 63 of them have gas fireplaces, curated artwork and white Italian marble bathrooms with heated towel racks. Visitors will see at once why it was named to the Conde Nast Traveler’s 2024 Gold List, honoring the best hotels in the world. Conde Nast called it a “transportive paradise of serenity and relaxation” and marveled at the personal quality of its service and its “distinctly residential feel,” with only seven rooms on each floor.

    Named the #1 Hotel in Boston and #1 City Hotel in the USA in the Travel + Leisure 2026 Readers' Choice Awards.
