The 9 Most Beautiful Boutique Hotels in Massachusetts

A former Federal Reserve Bank situated in the heart of the Boston Financial District, the Langham property is a landmark Renaissance revival-style building of the 1920s. The building was converted into a luxury hotel in 1981 yet retains an admirable balance between historic, old-world charm and modern sophistication. Historical exhibits celebrating the building’s former purpose are displayed throughout the elegant property, including photographs, paintings and and two works by legendary artist NC Wyeth, which were commissioned by the Federal Reserve.

In historical Nantucket, the 76 Main hotel is an exposition of contemporary interior design, curated by Boston-based Rachel Reider. There is not an outdated doily in sight in this 1800s Federalist’s house; the charmingly tailored rooms are packed with modern furnishings, plush fabrics and sophisticated amenities. The breezy blue and white scheme, reflecting Nantucket’s nautical character, is kept fresh by eclectic accents and funky custom-made upholstery.

The Charlotte Inn revives old-world hospitality in the Edgartown Edwardian-era home of Samuel Osborne Jr, one of the last successful whaling ship owners. From the mahogany Scottish barrister’s check-in desk to the hand-carved four-poster beds, authentic antiques, objets d’art and fine 19th-century oil paintings, period features are abundant throughout.

The Deerfield Inn is situated in the rural heart of Massachusetts, in a National Historic Landmark-listed village. The Inn has been welcoming visitors to its 24 guest rooms, and into its farm-to-fork restaurant and tavern since 1884. Embracing wing chairs by the fireplace, white rockers and bright Adirondack chairs on the lawn, the handsome Deerfield Inn reflects traditional New England rural comfort.
