Fun Hotels in Boston
Boston is not just home to the Tea Party. It's also home to some of the Northeast's finest golf courses. If you're going to play a round or two in the Boston area, you might as well get your fill of what's fun to do around town. Boston is loaded with places to see and explore, and there's nothing better than being in the middle of it all. So, choose your hotel wisely ... and have fun.

Boston Harbor Hotel at Rowes Wharf

The Boston Harbor Hotel at Rowes Wharf sits on the water and overlooks historic Boston Harbor. Though there is a lot of interesting history to the area, Rowes Wharf is an integral part of Boston life. The hotel is a virtual gateway to fun and adventure in the Boston area. The Children's Museum of Boston is a few blocks away and within easy walking distance from the hotel. Chinatown, the Old Statehouse, Freedom Trail and the Old North Church are also just minutes away on foot. Rowes Wharf also has a water taxi that operates Monday through Friday and can take you around the harbor or to destinations that are hard to get to on foot. The closest course to the Boston Harbor Hotel is the William J. Devine Golf Course, located at Franklin Park, 5 miles south of the hotel.

With fun, bright colors and interesting patterns in the rooms and throughout the hotel, the Boston Marriott Copley Place creates a festive atmosphere that lends itself to the surroundings. Located on the Back Bay, Copley Place is centrally located near the Boston Commons, where visitors will find a diverse mix of entertainment, food and shops to keep themselves occupied and entrenched in Boston culture. It's also near the Back Bay Subway station, so getting around to other interesting areas in Boston is as simple as a short walk. With three courses within 10 miles, including Presidents Club, you couldn't pick a better location for having a great time during your stay.

Bulfinch Hotel

The Bulfinch is a landmark in downtown Boston. But that's not what makes it fun. Its location makes it fun. The Bulfinch is near most everything visitors demand out of the city, including the best shopping areas and Market Commons. It's also near some of Boston's more legendary bars, restaurants, nightclubs and pubs, including the world-famous Bull and Finch Pub, made famous by the long-running television sitcom "Cheers." A 10-minute walk will find you down by the waterfront and at the doorsteps of one of Boston's most highly visited attractions, the New England Aquarium, which packs in almost 1.5 million visitors annually. If you're looking for a truly unique golf experience, take a 4-mile trip to the west and play at the Fresh Pond Golf Course, a nine-hole layout on the outskirts of historic Cambridge.
