During your Boston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Old Corner Bookstore Building
Built in 1718, this building is on a plot of land that was once home to the religious reformer Anne Hutchinson, who was excommunicated and expelled from Boston in 1638 for heresy. In the middle of the 19th century, the little brick building held the publishing house of Ticknor & Fields, which effectively made this the literary center of America. Publisher James Fields, known as "Jamie," counted among his friends Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, James Russell Lowell, Henry David Thoreau, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Harriet Beecher Stowe. For many years this was the Globe Corner Bookstore (the bookstore is now in Harvard Square). Today the building houses the Boston Globe Store (tel. 617/367-4000), which sells souvenirs and newspaper-related merchandise.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Turn right and walk 1 block.
Mary Baker Eddy Library/Mapparium
The Mary Baker Eddy Library, a research center with two floors of interactive and multimedia exhibits, opened in 2002. Its mission is to explore ideas of liberty, spirituality, and the like throughout history. A central role is reserved for Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of Christian Science. The library's most intriguing exhibit is the Mapparium, a unique hollow globe 30 feet across. Both a work of art and an illustration of political history, the globe consists of a bronze framework that connects 608 stained-glass panels. Because sound bounces off the nonporous surfaces, the acoustics are as unusual as the aesthetics. As you cross the glass bridge just south of the equator, you'll see the political divisions of the world from 1932 to 1935, when the globe was constructed.
Commonwealth Museum/Massachusetts Archives
The nearby Kennedy Library explores the history of one of Boston's most famous families; here, you might find your own clan's history. The Commonwealth Museum has videos, slide shows, and interactive exhibits on the state's people, places, and politics. Topics covered recently in the regularly changing exhibits include the archaeology of the Big Dig, the Civil War, and state history. In the same building, the state archives contain passenger lists for ships that arrived in Boston from 1848 to 1891; state census schedules that date to 1790; and documents, maps, and military and court records starting with the Massachusetts Bay Company (1628-29). Knowledgeable staff members are on hand to answer researchers' questions in person, by mail, or by phone. This is a worthwhile detour on the way to or from the Kennedy Library.
Boston Marriott Long Wharf
The landmark Marriott's chief appeal is its location, a stone's throw from the New England Aquarium. It attracts business travelers with its proximity to the Financial District, and woos families with its pool and easy access to downtown and waterfront attractions. The hotel's terraced brick exterior is one of the most recognizable sights on the harbor; inside, the seven-story atrium contributes to the airy feel of the public spaces. Rooms and bathrooms underwent extensive renovation in 2002; each large unit has either one king-size or two double beds (with pillow-top mattresses), and a table and chairs in front of the window. Rooms are quite sunny (the stand-alone building has no neighbors to block the light), decorated in earth tones with red and gold accents that complement the cherry furnishings. Rooms close to the water afford good views of the wharves and the waterfront; units closer to Atlantic Avenue have a newly peaceful post-Big Dig atmosphere.Facilities: Restaurant (seafood); cafe and lounge; bar and grill; indoor pool; exercise room; Jacuzzi; game room; concierge; tour desk; 24-hr. business center; room service until 2am; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; executive-level rooms. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
Royal Sonesta Hotel
This luxurious hotel is in a curious location -- it's close to only a few things but convenient to everything, making it a good choice for both business travelers (who can take advantage of Wi-Fi access throughout the building) and families. The CambridgeSide Galleria mall is across the street, the Museum of Science is around the corner, and downtown Boston is close at hand. In the other direction, MIT and the technology hotbed of Kendall Square are 10 minutes away on foot. In the midst of all this activity, the hotel achieves a serene atmosphere, thanks in part to the always-helpful staff. Most of the spacious rooms in the 10-story building have lovely views of the river or the city (higher prices for better views). Everything is custom-designed in modern, comfortable style, and is regularly refurbished. Original contemporary artwork, including pieces by Andy Warhol and Frank Stella, hangs throughout the public spaces and guest rooms. The closest competition is the new Hotel Marlowe, across the street, which offers less extensive fitness options (there's no pool) and fewer river views.Facilities: Restaurant; cafe with seasonal outdoor seating; heated indoor/outdoor pool with retractable roof; well-equipped health club and spa; bike rental (seasonal); concierge; courtesy van; business center; room service until 1am; massage; laundry service; dry cleaning. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available; staff is trained in disability awareness.
Boston Harbor Hotel
The Boston Harbor Hotel is one of the finest hotels in town -- and certainly the prettiest, with a landmark arch that links land and sea. The 16-story brick building is within walking distance of downtown and the waterfront attractions, and it prides itself on offering top-notch service to travelers pursuing both business and pleasure.The plush guest rooms look out on the harbor or the skyline. Each standard unit is a luxurious bedroom/living-room combination, with mahogany furnishings that include an armoire, a desk, and comfortable chairs. Rooms with city views are less expensive but currently face the construction zone that has succeeded the Big Dig. The best units are suites with private terraces and dazzling water vistas. Tip: The grand public spaces hold a museum-quality collection of paintings, drawings, prints, and nautical charts, so be sure to check them out.Facilities: Excellent restaurant (New England); cafe; bar; 60-ft. indoor lap pool; well-appointed health club and spa; concierge; courtesy car; state-of-the-art business center with professional staff; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; video rentals. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
