2 Best Hotels in Government Center, Boston

Near historic Faneuil Hall, The Bostonian has guest rooms featuring Frette linens, pillow-top mattresses, and 40-inch TVs—many also have fireplaces and French doors with step-out balconies showcasing city views and the popular North End. Warmed up with red wall coverings, the lobby provides sofas and arm chairs, perfect for relaxing with a book chosen from one of the floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. The hotel's restaurant, North 26, serves a little bit of everything. There's also a children's program for the tiny tots.

Across the street from Faneuil Hall, this coveted spot from the trusted brand is literally steps away from dozens upon dozens of Boston landmarks, parks, and restaurants. The decor is simple yet effective, a potential nod to the city's preppy fashion sense (think plaid walls and halls alongside houndstooth winged chairs). Grab a corner room for the ultimate city views: two walls of windows overlook the hustle and bustle below. Enjoy a 24-hour fitness center, room service, and high-end amenities like 55-inch flat-screen TVs with Chromecast streaming capabilities, Drybar Buttercup blow-dryers, and BeeKind bath products.
