1 . Four of the Most Comfortable Hotels in Boston

Across the Charles River in Cambridge, this brownstone has generous rooms at generous prices. Check-in is done via your phone, which then becomes the room key for your stay. All rooms are private, including the bathrooms. No hotel staff are on site before 8 am or after 6 pm, and there’s no breakfast. Rooms: From $55.

Need a room for less than 100 bucks? The Farrington Inn, located in the student-favored area of Allston, will see you through. The bathrooms are shared, but for your money you get all you need, such as a double bed, TV, dresser, hairdryer, towels and free Wifi. Check-in is done at the reception desk. If you stay longer than five days, you’ll get a room with a small kitchen too (or access to the shared kitchen). Rooms: From $65.

Hidden in plain sight opposite the city’s lush Public Garden, this grand hotel brings warmth and tranquility (安宁) to every space, all dark wood and leather sofas. The beloved hotel has served a who’s who of guests over the last century, from the Duke and Duchess of Windsor to author Tennessee Williams, who wrote part of A Streetcar Named Desire while living at the hotel. Rooms: From $490.

Housed in Boston’s former Federal Reserve Bank, the hotel was injected an element of fun and colour, most noticeably through the hotel’s art collection, which pays respects to the building’s heritage. Visitors will find more than 300 pieces on display and rotated (轮换) every four months to keep things fresh. Rooms: From $405.
