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

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.

It’s hard to imagine a more convenient and comfortable spot for enjoying all Boston that offers families than the Battery Wharf Hotel. The hotel is steps from the lively North End, steeped in fun dining and history; the eclectic shops and eateries of Fanueil Hall; and the amazing New England Aquarium. Walk out the door to stroll along the pedestrian-friendly Harbor Walk or the historic sites of the famous Freedom Trail. Watch the boats come into the harbor from your spacious room or suite, complete with a state-of-the-art entertainment system. Ask about the Family Fun Package, which includes two connecting rooms and an exclusive North End scavenger hunt.

Walkable, historic Boston is a great place for family vacations, and there’s no better launching pad than the Seaport Hotel, perfectly situated in the heart of the exciting Seaport District. The hotel’s spacious rooms and suites, with super harbor and city views, mean lots of room to stretch out and plan your busy days, from hiking the Freedom Trail to visiting the nearby Boston Children’s Museum and Tea Party Ships & Museum. Explore this vibrant neighborhood on one of the hotel’s complimentary bikes. Come back for dinner on the open-air terrace at TAMO Bistro + Bar. Ask about the First Mate’s Club, providing a year-round scavenger hunt and amenities for kids, starting with a toy they can select from Seaport’s Treasure Chest upon arrival.

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.
