Marriott Vacation Club Pulse

If you're going to throw down coin, you may as well do it here. This was once the customs house for the city of Boston, where all items unloaded from the nearby docks were tracked and taxed. The building dates from the early 1800s, the tower was added about 100 years ago, and the hotel remodel happened in the 1990s. It's got charm, a great location and all the modern conveniences you'd expect.

Courtyard Boston Tremont Hotel

This 4-star hotel is across the street from the Wang Theatre.

Omni Parker House Hotel

The oldest hotel in America, although the current building dates from the 1920s. Located in downtown Boston on the Freedom Trail, the venerable Omni Parker House Hotel opened its doors in 1855. If you want to surround yourself in history in the heart of Downtown Boston, this is the place to stay. However, many of the hotel's rooms are small and over-crowded with furniture. Ho Chi Minh & Malcolm X are former employees. Bonus: if you eat in the dining room, ask to sit in the booth in which John F. Kennedy asked Jackie Onassis to marry him.

In the Theater District across the Common from the original Riz-Carlton. Relatively new hotel with a very modern design.

Great harbor views.

Liberty Hotel

Located in the Beacon Hill neighborhood by the Charles River and its Esplanade. On a bizarre side note, the hotel occupies a former prison that once held former mayor James Michael Curley (imprisoned in 1904 for fraud), Frank Abagnale, Jr. (portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in Catch Me If You Can) and a Nazi U-Boat captain captured in 1945 who later committed suicide.
