This unique round building was built in the 1800's as a gas tank. The gasoline was used to light up the lanterns in Boston, then became a motion picture exhibition in the 20's and light manufacturing and storage in the 30's, it has been vacant for over 60 years, before it was transformed into a beautiful top-notch hotel in 2001. Have you ever slept in a round building before? The shape of the building is not the only thing you'll remember. The staff is committed to providing you with the best possible service. We look forward to exceeding your expectations. It's a stone's throw away from Boston's proud tradition and history of New England. Boston is host to many distinctive shops, world-class restaurants, superb museums, the performing arts and theatre district, Boston's medical community, colleges, the Boston Red Sox, Bruins, and Celtics, as well as Boston's financial district, the Hynes Convention Center and Bayside Exposition Center.
Most recent user reviewsScore 4 out of 5 Good Value Christopher The entire city of Boston is within reach especially with the free shuttle services from the hotel.Hotel staff was amazing, very friendly and helpful. This was my first trip to Boston and they made it a very comfortable stay. Room was a little small and the wifi was not working. The fitness room is also quite pathetic, I was hoping for a little more. Location is great and the shuttle service was very convenient. Overall I am pleased with my stay considering the price that was paid.

Their shuttle was a big transporation saver with the traveling to and from the airport, Fenway Park & downtown Boston area. Will be back next year.

Also, the free shuttle to the Prudential Center is a convenient touch. Score 5 out of 5 Charming ambience Hunt, Bangor, ME, 2006-05-03 Allow plenty of time to get to and from the airport. You'll need it.We chose this hotel because of its proximity to the airport, but this did not work out well for us. The traffic coming from the airport in the early evening caused the taxi ride to take more than an hour from airport to hotel. The first morning shuttle back to the airport was at 5:00am. We scheduled this with the front desk, but when we came down to catch the shuttle in the morning, the person on duty at that time, told us that he had never once seen the first am shuttle show up on time. The shuttle was only ten minutes late, but then made multiple other stops, including a stop at his own headquarters during which we waited in his van while he did who knows what inside for 15 minutes. It therefore took another hour to get back to the airport in the morning, causing one person to miss his flight, and others to come close. The hotel should contract with a different shuttle provider. The hotel room was lovely. A sitting room with all of the business amenities separated from the bedroom by French doors enabled one of us to work while the other snoozed. There were also two TVs, so we were able to watch different programs simultaneously. The furnishings were more appealing than most chain hotels, and the room had more of an historic B&B ambience. The view from the hotel was unattractive and the neighborhood scarey, so I was glad that we were not there to enjoy Boston. |
