About

Hilton Boston Park Plaza opened on March 10, 1927 as The Statler Hotel, and for five decades it was the largest independent hotel in New England. It remains one of the biggest in the city, with 1,060 rooms and suites, 70,000 square feet of event space and a lobby that serves as a meeting point for conventions, weddings and pre-theater drinks.

It suits travelers who want a central, walkable base in a large full-service hotel, conference groups, and anyone planning days around the Public Garden, Boston Common and the Theatre District, all of which the hotel puts less than a mile away. The address, 50 Park Plaza, is in Park Square at the eastern edge of Back Bay, with Beacon Hill and Newbury Street close by. Arlington station on the Green Line is the nearest stop, a direct ride to Copley and Kenmore.

A city within a city

Ellsworth Statler pitched the building as a city within a city: a hotel and office block that could pay its way even through the Depression. It opened with 1,300 rooms, each with a private bath and a radio, and the Boston station WBZ broadcast from the penthouse. The fourth floor held 42 Salesman Singles, with beds that folded into the wall so traveling salesmen could lay out samples. The room count is lower today, and the history now shows mainly in the ballroom and the public spaces.

Fitness and other facilities

Lynx Fitness Club, the in-house health club, has personal trainers, group classes and a Full Swing golf simulator that can be reserved. It is open to hotel guests aged 18 and over, with a waiver signed on the first visit. The building also holds a Leica Store and Gallery for photographers and a FedEx business center on the mezzanine.

What to budget for

A mandatory daily destination charge covers premium internet, club access and small daily credits for food and dry cleaning, so factor it into the rate you compare. Parking is either self-park or valet, with the valet entrance on Columbus Avenue, and pets up to 40 pounds are accepted for a one-time fee. The exact figures are in the FAQ below.

Restaurants and cafes

Off the Common is the lobby bar and restaurant, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu leans on New England staples such as lobster rolls, crab cakes and clam chowder, alongside seasonal salads, soups, sandwiches and burgers.

A full Starbucks coffeehouse inside the hotel opens at 4:30 a.m., useful before an early flight or train, and room service covers breakfast and dinner.
