About
Hotel AKA Boston Common is a 19-story, 190-room hotel at 90 Tremont Street, where Beacon Hill, Downtown Crossing and the Financial District meet. It was the Kimpton Nine Zero until 2023, when AKA took it over and began a full redesign, with a new lobby and lobby bar by Rafael de Cárdenas and rooms reworked in a pared-back Scandinavian style.
It suits travelers who want to walk everywhere. Boston Common and Park Street station, where the Red and Green Lines meet, are across Tremont Street, the Freedom Trail starts at the Common, and the theaters of Downtown Crossing are a few blocks away.
Rooms and suites
AKA mixes nightly stays with extended stays, so the hotel works for a weekend or a month. Rooms run from city-view kings to suites with Common views, and the top of the building holds a penthouse of about 1,000 square feet with floor-to-ceiling windows.
Restaurant and bar
The Bosworth Restaurant + Bar is the on-site restaurant, led by chef Kinan Ibrahim, and the redesigned lobby bar is set up for a drink before the theater. The hotel also has a fitness center and meeting space.
Traveling with pets
Up to two pets per room are welcome, each up to 75 pounds, for $50 plus tax per stay.
The neighborhood
The hotel faces the oldest public park in the country, and the gold dome of the State House is a short walk up the hill. Downtown Crossing's shops and the Brattle Book Shop are a few blocks south, Carrie Nation Cocktail Club is around the corner on Beacon Street, and the Omni Parker House and its Last Hurrah bar are across School Street.
Getting there
Park Street station is across the street. From Logan Airport, take the free shuttle bus to Airport station and ride the Blue Line a few stops into downtown, or allow about 15 to 25 minutes by taxi outside rush hour.
Before you book
Check-in is at 4 p.m.; if your room isn't ready, the hotel will store luggage. Valet parking is $65 a night with unlimited in-and-out access. In 2025, Condé Nast Traveler readers ranked the hotel third in Boston in its Readers' Choice Awards.
