About
The Whitney Hotel is a 65-room boutique hotel at the foot of Beacon Hill, on Charles Street near Massachusetts General Hospital. It feels more like a townhouse than a tower: a small lobby, a courtyard, and rooms that look out on brick sidewalks, gas lamps and the Charles River side of the neighborhood.
It suits couples and anyone who wants to stay in Beacon Hill rather than visit it. The antique shops and cafés of Charles Street start at the door, Charles/MGH on the Red Line is a few minutes on foot, and the Public Garden, Boston Common and the State House are a pleasant walk south.
Rooms and suites
The hotel offers king and double-queen rooms, accessible rooms, connecting rooms and four premium suites. Guests must be 21 or older to book. With only 65 rooms, the hotel rarely feels busy, even on weekends. Ask for a room facing Charles Street for the neighborhood view, or one at the back for quiet.
Peregrine
Peregrine is the hotel restaurant, serving breakfast, lunch or brunch and dinner every day with a coastal Mediterranean menu built on New England seafood and produce. It takes reservations at 617-826-1762 and draws neighborhood regulars as well as hotel guests.
Traveling with pets
The Whitney accepts up to two pets per room, each up to 50 pounds, for $125 per stay. Pet rooms are on the second floor, which makes walks along the river easy.
The neighborhood
Charles Street is Beacon Hill's main street, lined with antique dealers, boutiques such as Crush Boutique and December Thieves, and small cafés. Beacon Hill Chocolates is a few doors down, and the Esplanade along the Charles River, with its running paths and the Hatch Shell, is reached by a footbridge nearby. The gaslit side streets climbing the hill, including Acorn Street, are a short stroll away.
Getting there
Charles/MGH station on the Red Line is a few minutes on foot. From Logan, a taxi or ride-share takes about 15 to 25 minutes outside rush hour.
Before you book
Check-in is at 3 p.m. and checkout at noon. Valet parking is $75 a night for standard cars and $80 for oversized vehicles; street parking on Beacon Hill is mostly residents-only, so plan on the valet if you drive.
