During your Boston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

The Institute of Contemporary Art
Across from the Hynes Convention Center, the ICA mounts rotating exhibits of 20th- and 21st-century art, including painting, sculpture, photography, and video and performance art. Its shows are among the most imaginative around, focusing on everything from baseball to Mexico. The institute also offers films, lectures, musical performances, poetry readings, and educational programs for children and adults. The 1886 building, originally a police station, is a showpiece in its own right.The ICA's profile is on the rise. It's in the process of building a new museum at Fan Pier, on the South Boston waterfront near the federal courthouse. A $37 million project designed by the pioneering New York firm Diller + Scofidio, the new building is scheduled to open in 2006. Check this space for details and updates in future editions.

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.

Franklin Park Zoo
The Franklin Park Zoo is becoming more and more enjoyable -- for animals as well as people. From June to September, you can visit the popular, colorful Butterfly Landing enclosure. On the Outback Trail, you can see kangaroos, wallabies, emus, and cockatoos. Serengeti Crossing is home to zebras, ibex, ostriches, and wildebeests. Other installations house cheetahs, lions, snow leopards, and African wild dogs. The African Tropical Forest exhibit is a sprawling complex where you'll see more than 50 species of animals. This is the domain of the Western lowland gorillas, which appear to be roaming free in an approximation of their natural habitat. If you're traveling with animal-mad youngsters, the Children's Zoo is both entertaining and educational.Schedule at least half a day for a visit to the zoo. Franklin Park is 40 minutes from downtown by public transportation, and the walk from the main gate and parking area to the entrance is fairly long, especially for those with little legs.

Make your reservations for discount hotel rooms in the Boston area, including:

The Lenox Hotel
The Lenox was the last word in hotels when it opened in 1900, and in its second century, it showcases that fin de siècle splendor everywhere, from the ornate lobby to the spacious, luxurious rooms. The hotel is popular with business travelers for many reasons: Its relatively small size and accommodating staff make it a welcome alternative to the huge convention hotels that dominate this neighborhood, and the hotel has a great location. The high-ceilinged guest rooms are large enough to contain sitting areas, and custom-designed wood furnishings and marble bathrooms add to the anything-but-generic vibe. The best accommodations are the 12 corner units with wood-burning fireplaces; rooms on the top two floors of the 11-story hotel have excellent views.Facilities: Well-regarded restaurant (contemporary American); bar; pub; small exercise room; 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 and wheelchair lift to the lobby are available.

Hilton Boston Logan Airport
Smack in the middle of the airport, the Hilton draws most of its guests from meetings, conventions, and recently canceled flights. It's convenient and well equipped for business travelers, and it's an excellent fallback for vacationers in search of a deal who don't mind a short commute to downtown. Guest rooms are large and tastefully furnished, with plenty of business features, including two-line speakerphones. The best units, on the higher floors of the 10-story building (which opened in 1999), afford sensational views of the airport and harbor. The big concern with a hotel this close to the runways is noise, but the picture-window views of approaching aircraft look like TV with the sound off. A shuttle bus connects the hotel to all airport locations; walkways also link the building to Terminals A (nearby) and E (a long walk). The Hyatt Harborside (discussed below) is the closest competition -- it's at the edge of the airport, on the water, which means less commotion outside but less convenient access to the T.Facilities: Restaurant (American); Irish pub; coffee counter; indoor lap pool; health club and spa; concierge; 24-hr. shuttle bus service to airport destinations, including car-rental offices and ferry dock, with on-bus electronic check-in; well-equipped business center; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; executive-level rooms.

A Cambridge House Bed & Breakfast Inn
A Cambridge House feels almost like a country inn except that it's on a busy stretch of Cambridge's main street (Mass. Ave.), set back from the sidewalk by a lawn. The three-story building is a beautifully restored 1892 Victorian that's listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The well-maintained rooms vary widely in size; they're warmly decorated with Waverly-Schumacher fabrics and period antiques. Most contain fireplaces and four-poster canopy beds with down comforters. The best rooms face away from the street, which is a bus route. The inn serves a generous breakfast and afternoon refreshments.
