LODGING
Boston Doubletree Guest Suites, expensive, (617) 783-0090,
www.doubletree.com. We
don't usually recommend chain hotels, but we like this Doubletree
outpost for its swell view of the
Charles River. Plus, shuttles are
standing by to take you to Copley Square, Boston Common, and other
top spots, saving you precious cab fare. Oh, and did we mention the
delicious chocolate chip cookies waiting for you at check-in?
Charlesmark Hotel, moderate to expensive, (617) 247-1212,
www.thecharlesmark.com.
With only 38 rooms, this nineteenth-century residence turned
boutique hotel proves good things come in small packages. Maybe
it's the
Boylston Street locale. Or the little touches like soft
music playing in your room when you arrive. Or the martinis at the
swank new hotel bar. We'll let you decide.
