During your Boston vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
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.
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.
Massachusetts State House
Boston is one of the only American cities where a building whose cornerstone was laid in 1795 (by Gov. Samuel Adams) would be called the "new" anything. Nevertheless, this is the new State House, as opposed to the Old State House. The great Federal-era architect Charles Bulfinch designed the central building of the state capitol, and in 1802 copper sheathing manufactured by Paul Revere replaced the shingles on the landmark dome. Gold leaf now covers the dome; during World War II blackouts, it was painted black. The state legislature, or Massachusetts General Court, meets here. The House of Representatives congregates under a wooden fish, the Sacred Cod. John Rowe, known as "Merchant" Rowe (Rowes Wharf bears his name), donated the carving in 1784 as a reminder of the importance of fishing to the local economy. Tours (guided and self-guided) leave from the second floor; call ahead to see whether weekend hours have been reinstated.Whether or not you go inside, be sure to study some of the many statues outside. Subjects range from Mary Dyer, a Quaker hanged on the Common in 1660 for refusing to abandon her religious beliefs, to Pres. John F. Kennedy. The 60-foot monument at the rear (off Bowdoin St.) illustrates Beacon Hill's original height, before the top was shorn off to use in 19th-century landfill projects.To continue on the Freedom Trail: Walk down Park Street (which Bulfinch laid out in 1804) to Tremont Street.

Great location!

Jean-Luc, Boston, MA

Prudential center is next door. Other amenities are just a few walks away (Newberry street). The weather was wonderful and allowed easy walks!

We loved the place in the center of Boston. It was easy to get from the airport and central to our points of interest. We visited with friends, and the restaurant was both comfortable and quiet. The food was wonderful and the staff attentive. We recommend it.

Business friendly, great location for evening activity

Robert, Philadelphia, PA

Abe & Louies just around the corner with a great bar and seafood. Busy fun atmosphere

Loved the Lenox, looking forward to my next stay. You don't have to leave the property for food and drink, great restaurant and martini bar. Located right in the heart of all the action. Easy to entertain clients within the property or just around the corner lies many find restaurants. Service was great, my friend sent me a chocolate gift arranged by the Lenox staff from a local chocolatier. Highly recommend the Lenox for all your travel to Boston

Upgrade!

Anonymous, 2007-02-08

1st Public Library in the US, and First Public City Park.

The Lenox is an old hotel that is trying to get with todays business traveler. If not a need is quick kind of person, this is for you. First room they gave was very small, upgraded to delux. Phone did not work, wireless network needs the IT guy standing next to you. Overall okay place on short notice.

A remodel that worked

Joseph, Sacramento, CA, 2006-08-05

Boston's Newbury Street is one of the prime shopping distrcits in the country. Walk down Exeter Street and turn left on Newbury for hip, youth oriented shops, boutiques and cafes; turn right for high-end retsaurants and stores catering to the older and higher income set.

A a former Bostonian who also has stayed at the Lenox previously I was very mpressed by how the hotel now looks following its remodel. Quiet, classic stle and opulence and price. It's a great value in the middle of one of the city's best neighborhoods.

Beautiful old hotel

Margie, 2006-06-25

The hotel is very old and historic, yet the room was updated and nicely done. It it very centrally located, and easy to get around. They were very helpful in giving us information on where to walk in town. We really enjoyed it.

Good Location

Daniel, Canton/Akron, OH, 2006-04-23

Newberry Street with its taverns, shopping and cafes. One block away.

The Lenox Hotel was in a good location relative to visiting the Northend and in close proximity to the shops and cafes along Newberry Street. A short $10 cab ride to Canbridge from the hotel made a nice afernoon trip. The concierge and the bellman were both very helpful and attentive. This hotel is not a big convention hotel which made our weekend away very enjoyable.
