During your Boston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
USS Constitution
"Old Ironsides," one of the U.S. Navy's six original frigates, never lost a battle. The ship was constructed in the North End from 1794 to 1797 at a cost of $302,718, using bolts, spikes, and other fittings from Paul Revere's foundry. Constitution played a key role as the new nation built its naval and military reputation, battling French privateers and Barbary pirates, repelling the British fleet during the War of 1812, participating in 40 engagements, and capturing 20 vessels. The frigate earned its nickname during an engagement on August 19, 1812, when shots from HMS Guerriere bounced off its thick oak hull as if it were iron. Today, the active-duty sailors who lead tours wear 1812 dress uniforms.Retired from combat in 1815, Constitution was rescued from destruction when Oliver Wendell Holmes's poem Old Ironsides launched a preservation movement in 1830. The frigate was completely overhauled for its bicentennial in 1997, when it sailed under its own power for the first time since 1881, drawing international attention. Tugs tow Constitution into the harbor every Fourth of July for its celebratory "turnaround cruise" (the vessel must be turned regularly to ensure that it weathers evenly).To continue on the Freedom Trail: Walk straight ahead to the museum entrance.Security On "Old Ironsides"--The Charlestown Navy Yard, home to USS Constitution and the Constitution Museum, is an active military base. Expect to have your bags searched at the gate or at the access point for "Old Ironsides," where you'll probably have to pass through a metal detector. And call ahead if the national terror alert is high; the navy yard closes to civilians at the first sign of a serious threat.
Old Granary Burying Ground
This cemetery, established in 1660, was once part of Boston Common. You'll see the graves of patriots Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, John Hancock, and James Otis; merchant Peter Faneuil (spelled "Funal"); and Benjamin Franklin's parents. Also buried here are the victims of the Boston Massacre (discussed below) and the wife of Isaac Vergoose, who is believed to be "Mother Goose" of nursery rhyme fame. Note that gravestone rubbing, however tempting, is illegal in Boston's historic cemeteries.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Turn left as you leave the cemetery and continue 1 1/2 blocks on Tremont Street.
John F. Kennedy National Historic Site
A property of the National Park Service, the 35th president's birthplace has been restored to appear as it did in 1917. The guided ranger-led tour discusses domestic life of the period and the roots of the Kennedy family. If you miss the last guided tour, ask about the self-guided option. One-hour walking tours of the neighborhood start at 12:45pm on weekends. Call ahead to double-check hours, which are set each January.
Hotel Marlowe
Hotel Marlowe is the first Northeast venture by detail-oriented Kimpton Boutique Hotels, a company that's best known for the beloved Hotel Monaco brand. This hotel opened in 2003 in a new eight-story building adjacent to the CambridgeSide Galleria mall, around the corner from the Museum of Science. It's chic yet comfortable, with abundant amenities for both businesspeople and leisure travelers. The elegantly decorated guest rooms are of a good size, with enough room to hold a work desk and an armchair. Rooms have down comforters and three phones (one in the bathroom), plus funky-boutique-hotel touches like leopard-print carpeting and a faux-fur throw across the foot of the bed. You will have views of the river (across the busy boulevard), a small canal, or the landscaped courtyard/driveway that shields the lobby from the street. The Marlowe's closest competition is the Royal Sonesta Hotel , across the street, which is more expensive but has a pool and health club.
Hotel Commonwealth
Like a Hollywood starlet strolling the red carpet in vintage Chanel, this boutique hotel is a hot young thing with a traditional, elegant look. Opened in 2003 in a brand-new six-story building in the heart of Kenmore Square, it boasts extensive business features as well as luxurious amenities such as Frette linens and large marble bathrooms. Formerly quite scruffy, Kenmore Square has undergone a face-lift -- helped immeasurably by the construction of this building. Boston University is a partner in the hotel, which draws a lot of business from the school and from local cultural institutions. My favorite guest rooms are the huge Commonwealth units; each has a king bed and a heavy curtain that draws across the center of the room, separating the sleeping area and the "parlor." These rooms overlook the bustling street, where plans call for outdoor restaurant seating, landscaping, and a new bus station. You might prefer a Fenway room -- they're smaller, but they face the legendary ballpark (directly across the Mass. Turnpike).
Copley Square Hotel
The Copley Square Hotel offers a great location and the pluses and minuses that come with being a relatively small hotel. Built in 1891, the seven-story hotel extends attentive service that's hard to find at the nearby megahotels, but lacks those giants' abundant amenities -- though room rates do include wireless Internet access. If you don't need to engineer a corporate takeover from your room, it's a fine choice, but larger competitors generally offer more features for comparable or slightly higher prices. Each unit has a queen- or king-size bed or two double beds; some rooms are on the small side. Rooms are decorated in an elaborate style that suits the Edwardian-era building, with richly patterned (though not too frilly-floral) fabrics and heavy carved furniture.Facilities: 2 restaurants (American); nightclub; access to exercise room at nearby Lenox Hotel; bike rental; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; airport shuttle; business center; room service until 11pm; babysitting; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
