During your Boston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
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.
Boston Massacre Site
A ring of cobblestones on a traffic island marks the location of the skirmish that helped consolidate the spirit of rebellion in the colonies. On March 5, 1770, angered at the presence of royal troops in Boston, colonists threw snowballs, garbage, rocks, and other debris at a group of redcoats. The soldiers panicked and fired into the crowd, killing five men. Their graves, including that of Crispus Attucks, the first black man to die in the Revolution, are in the Old Granary Burying Ground.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Turn left onto Congress Street and walk down the hill.
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum
Isabella Stewart Gardner (1840-1924) was an incorrigible individualist long before strong-willed behavior was acceptable for women in polite Boston society, and her forcefulness paid off for art lovers. "Mrs. Jack" designed her exquisite home in the style of a 15th-century Venetian palace and filled it with European, American, and Asian painting and sculpture, many pieces chosen with the help of her friend and protégé Bernard Berenson. You'll see works by Titian, Botticelli, Raphael, Rembrandt, Matisse, and Mrs. Gardner's friends James McNeill Whistler and John Singer Sargent. Titian's magnificent Europa, which many scholars consider his finest work, is one of the most important Renaissance paintings in the United States. In my casual poll of local travel experts, the Gardner was the most popular museum.The building, which opened to the public after Mrs. Gardner's death, holds a glorious hodgepodge of furniture and architectural details imported from European churches and palaces. The pièce de résistance is the magnificent sky-lit courtyard, filled year-round with fresh flowers from the museum greenhouse. Although the terms of Mrs. Gardner's will forbid changing the arrangement of the museum's content, there has been some evolution: A special exhibition gallery features two or three changing shows a year, often by contemporary artists in residence.They have a concert series (tel. 617/734-1359). The cafe serves lunch and desserts, and there's an excellent gift shop.
Holiday Inn Select Boston Government Center
At the base of Beacon Hill, near Massachusetts General Hospital, this 15-story hotel is one of the chain's leaders in the battle for the business traveler. It also attracts guests with business at the hospital, and the staff is sensitive to the needs of patients and relatives. The location is convenient to downtown, within walking distance of the Back Bay, and not far from East Cambridge. The good-size guest rooms have contemporary furnishings and plenty of business amenities. Each room also has a picture-window view of the city, the State House, or the parking structure; ask for a room on a high floor, facing Blossom Street if possible. The building is part of a small retail complex with a supermarket and shops, which should have reopened after extensive renovations by the time you visit.Facilities: Restaurant (American); lounge; outdoor heated pool; small exercise room; access to nearby health club ($10); concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; room service until 11pm; coin laundry; laundry service; executive-level rooms. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
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.
Comfort Inn & Suites Logan Airport
Although it loses points for the misleading name -- the airport is about 3 1/2 miles south of the airport -- the well-equipped Comfort Inn still ranks high. The eight-story hotel, which opened in 2001, sits on a hill set back from the street near a busy traffic circle. It offers a good range of amenities for business and leisure travelers, including free high-speed Internet access and local phone calls, continental breakfast, and an indoor pool. Suites are oversize rooms that contain sofa beds, and king suites have refrigerators as well. The staff offers very attentive service. The somewhat inconvenient location translates to reasonable rates, and the North Shore is easily accessible if you plan to take a day trip. Revere Beach is about 2 minutes away by car.Facilities: Restaurant (Italian/American); lounge; indoor pool; exercise room; shuttle to subway and airport; business center; room service (3-11pm); coin-op laundry; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
