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.
Old State House
Built in 1713, this brick structure served as the seat of the colonial government before the Revolution, and as the state capitol until 1797. on July 18, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was first read to Bostonians from the balcony of this building. In 1789, Pres. George Washington reviewed a parade from here. The exterior decorations are particularly interesting -- the clock was installed in place of a sundial, and the gilded lion and unicorn are reproductions of the original symbols of British rule that were ripped from the facade and burned the day the Declaration of Independence was read.Inside is the Bostonian Society's museum of the city's history. The society was founded in 1881 to save this building, which was badly deteriorated and, incredibly, was about to be sold and shipped to Chicago. Exhibits include an introductory video on the history of the building, a meter that illustrates the proximity of the Blue Line subway (which makes the floor vibrate), and displays that focus on the Revolutionary period and more recent history.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Leave the building, turn left, and walk half a block.
Boston Public Library
The central branch of the city's library system is an architectural and intellectual monument. The original 1895 building, a National Historic Landmark designed by Charles F. McKim, is an Italian Renaissance-style masterpiece that fairly drips with art. The lobby doors are the work of Daniel Chester French (who also designed the Abraham Lincoln statue in the memorial in Washington, the Minute Man statue in Concord, and the John Harvard statue in Cambridge). The murals are by John Singer Sargent and Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, among others. Visit the lovely courtyard or peek at it from a window on the stairs. The adjoining addition, of the same height and material (pink granite), was designed by Philip Johnson and opened in 1972. The lobby holds changing exhibits. Novel serves lunch and afternoon tea Monday through Friday, and Sebastian's Map Room Café is open for snacks 9am to 5pm Monday through Saturday.Free Art & Architecture Tours (www.bpl.org/guides/tours.htm) begin Monday at 2:30pm, Tuesday and Thursday at 6pm, Friday and Saturday at 11am, with an additional tour October through May on Sunday at 2pm. Call tel. 617/536-5400, ext. 2216, to arrange group tours.
Hyatt Harborside
This striking 14-story waterfront hotel offers unobstructed views of the harbor and city skyline. It caters to the convention and business trade. Sightseers whose budget for transportation doesn't include a fair amount of time (on the shuttle bus and subway) or money (on ferries, parking, or cabs) will be better off closer to downtown. The Airport Water Shuttle leaves from the ferry dock behind the hotel.The good-size guest rooms, which were renovated in 2000, afford dramatic views from the higher floors. They have all the features you'd expect at a deluxe hotel, including oversize work desks. The surprises here are in the public areas; the lobby is a work of art, with a map inlaid in the floor and the "sky" on the rotunda ceiling. And the building's tower is a lighthouse -- the airport control tower manages the beacon so that it doesn't interfere with runway lights.Facilities: Restaurant (New England); lounge; 40-ft. indoor pool; exercise room; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; 24-hr. airport shuttle service; business center; room service until midnight; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; executive-level rooms. Ferries to Rowes Wharf and Long Wharf dock outside. Rooms for travelers with disabilities are available.
Best Western Hotel Tria
This four-story establishment underwent a $3 million renovation in 2003. It offers a sophisticated blend of chain-motel convenience and boutique-hotel features -- such as a "soap menu." Guest rooms are spacious, with sleek but comfy contemporary furnishings, and are at least one floor up from the busy street. Room rates include 30 free minutes of local phone calls. The commercial neighborhood is nothing to write home about, but the pool and free parking and breakfast help make up for the less-than-scenic location. A 2 1/2-mile jogging trail circles Fresh Pond, across the street. There's a restaurant next door and a shopping center with a 10-screen movie theater nearby. Boston is about a 15-minute drive or a 30-minute T ride away; Lexington and Concord are less than a half-hour away by car.
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.
