The Best Hotels and B&Bs to Book Near Fenway Park, Boston

It’s best to keep your glove on you when you stay at the Verb Hotel. Located right across the street from Fenway, you can turn game day into an all-star experience by starting your morning with a dip in the Verb’s saltwater pool before bar-hopping your way around the bases before the first pitch is thrown. When the game ends and the bars close, head back to your king or queen suite, and grab one last floodlit view of the stadium from your window before calling it a night.

There’s no way you can stay this close to the ballpark and not book Hotel Commonwealth’s Fenway Park Suite. Your balcony faces Fenway and even has real dirt and seats from the park. Inside, you’ll find other collectibles, such as a coffee table autographed by Red Sox players and the number six from the stadium’s scoreboard. Mix up a drink in your wet bar, stream the road game on the smart TV in your room, and see if the concierge can send up a box of Cracker Jack.

Newbury Guest House lets you imagine what life would be like as one of the lucky Bostonians who live on the charming Newbury Street. Wake up, and look out of your bay window, scanning for the cool indie coffee shop or lunch spot you’d like to try today. Breakfast-fuelled, cut west to see Kenmore Square, or head east to Boston Common. Wherever you journey, make sure you work up an appetite to bring back to La Voile to taste authentic French cooking that’s “wicked good”, as the locals would say.

What’s the gold standard when it comes to Back Bay hotels? The luxe Fairmont Copley Plaza will show you. You’ll get personalized service from the moment you check into your Fairmont Gold Suite until the minute you wave goodbye to your views of bustling Copley Square, with its imposing church and farmers’ market. Take your experience to a platinum level, with an amazing cup of New England clam chowder and a fat lobster roll at the trendy OAK Long Bar + Kitchen.

Heading to Beantown for a Sox game? Let the Revolution Hotel get you an up-close and personal introduction to Fenway Park. The staff will take you to the park for a tour, a special treat and a memory you’ll hold onto forever. Up in your loft suite, look out at South End, and imagine what it’d be like to live in your own brownstone apartment as a Bostonian with season tickets.

After a long afternoon at Fenway, hollering at the umps and getting splashed with beer, a spa day at Mandarin Oriental is just the ticket. A special line of unisex treatments, such as hot-stone therapy, millennial posture therapy and synergistic healing will perk you right back up. For the ultimate treat, book the Taste of Boston package, which includes a dinner at one of the hottest restaurants in the city, such as Coppa, Toro or Joe’s Waterfront.

The Lenox Hotel is ready to welcome you and your pup. Doggos of all shapes and sizes stay free, so get ready to cuddle up by the fireplace in your executive room. The concierge will map out every dog-friendly space in the city to sniff out, though you’ll want to follow your own nose down to City Table for double-cut french toast during weekend brunch. Walk off breakfast with a long stroll down the Commonwealth Avenue Mall.

Here’s a piece of Bostonian history for the ladies to embrace. The College Club of Boston, located right on Commonwealth Avenue, was the first women’s college club in the country. This Victorian brownstone now also contains an eleven-room B&B, with each room containing period antiques and well-stocked bookshelves. Savor complimentary tea, coffee, cookies and continental breakfast; then, enjoy digesting on a quiet walk through Boston Public Garden and Boston Common.
