Boston & Cambridge lodgings welcome families with lots of things to do for kids

Inn at Hastings Park will be tentatively reopening in September 2020. Please visit our website for updates.
Just 15 miles from Boston, The Inn at Heritage Park, steps away from the battle green where the War for Independence began and other historic sites, boasts that its hospitality is truly revolutionary. See for yourself when you and your family check into a spacious and elegant room or suite. Or ask about the Pint-Sized Patriots Package, where the kids get tricorne hats, slippers and robes (plus milk and cookies!). Whether you’re riding complimentary bikes on the much-loved rail trail, hiking around Walden Pond, picking apples at an orchard or touring Louisa May Alcott’s home, you will love your Lexington area experience – and the modern amenities and comforts of this historic and multiple award-winning inn.

A great family vacation location! On-site, delight in outdoor activities include volleyball, horseshoes, bocce ball and basketball. Recreational activities include an indoor pool, exercise room, sauna, and two indoor/two outdoor tennis courts. Doubletree by Hilton Bedford Glen is also near historical and recreational sites, including Lexington & Concord, golf courses and Wachusett Mountain and Nashoba Valley ski areas. The Hotel is only 20 miles from the downtown Boston area and Logan Airport. There is easy access to local corporate offices, top shopping, Boston area universities and colleges, and New Hampshire. All 281 guest rooms and suites offer views of the meticulously groomed grounds and garden. This retreat property is located on 24 wooded acres. Come enjoy dinner on our outdoor terrace.

Feeling like the time is right for a family vacation? Looking for a place that offers value, consistency – and fun? Take a look at what the Hampton Inn Boston-Natick has to offer. Reserve a studio suite and you and the kids can really stretch out, enjoying free wifi and comfy beds. (Go to the hotel website for details on the industry-leading CleanStay program.) After your free hot breakfast, and perhaps some time in the 24-hour fitness center, you can do some shopping at the nearby Natick Mall (which includes Newbury Comics, Aeropostale and Hollister) or head to the three-lake Cochituate State Park for windsurfing, fishing or just a relaxing family barbecue. And, Boston is a 25-minute drive away.

Enjoy your own magic carpet ride at Boston’s distinctive 1927 landmark hotel.
