During your Boston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Harrison Gray Otis House
Legendary architect Charles Bulfinch designed this gorgeous 1796 mansion for an up-and-coming young lawyer who later became mayor of Boston. The restoration was one of the first in the country to use a computer analysis of the wall paint, and the result was revolutionary: It revealed that the colors on the walls were drab because the paint was faded, not because they started out dingy. Furnished in the style to which a wealthy family in the late-18th-century and early-19th-century United States would have been accustomed, the Federal-style building is a colorful, elegant treasure. Guided tours (the only way to see the house) discuss the architecture of the house; post-Revolutionary social, business, and family life; and the history of the neighborhood.
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.
Nichols House Museum
A stroll around Beacon Hill can leave visitors wishing to know what the stately homes look like inside. This is one of the only places to satisfy your curiosity. This 1804 home is decorated with beautiful antique furnishings collected by several generations of the Nichols family. Its most prominent occupant, Rose Standish Nichols, was a suffragist and a pioneering landscape designer. Her legacy includes not just family heirlooms but objects she brought back from her many travels. Open days may vary, so call ahead.
Chandler Inn Hotel
The comfortable, unpretentious Chandler Inn is a bargain for its location, just 2 blocks from the Back Bay. The guest rooms, revamped in 2000, have individual climate control and tasteful contemporary-style furniture, including desks, small wardrobes, and TV armoires. Each holds a queen or double bed or two twin beds, though there's no room to squeeze in a cot. Bathrooms are tiny, and the one elevator in the eight-story inn can be slow, but the staff is welcoming and helpful. This is a gay-friendly hotel (Fritz, the bar next to the lobby, is a neighborhood gay hangout) and often books up early. Plan ahead.
Radisson Hotel Cambridge
This former Howard Johnson hotel is an attractive, modern 16-story tower across the street from the Charles River. It has an indoor swimming pool, and Radisson replaced all the furniture when it took over in 2000. Each room has a picture window, and some have private balconies. Prices vary with the size of the room, the floor, and the view; the panorama of the Boston skyline from higher floors on the river side of the building is worth the extra money. The hotel is near the major college campuses and the Mass. Pike. It's 10 minutes by car from downtown Boston but not near public transit -- leave time for the hotel shuttle.Facilities: 2 restaurants (Japanese, Greek); indoor pool; exercise room; concierge; shuttle to Harvard, Central, and Kendall squares and Massachusetts General Hospital; business center; room service until 10pm; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
