Club Quarters Hotel Faneuil Hall, Boston

Club Quarters Hotel Faneuil Hall, Boston

10/10 Excellent
"This is a boutique type of hotel, so not large. The location was excellent, within walking distance of the waterfront and historical landmarks such as the South Meeting Hall and Old State House, and Faneuil Hall. I don’t know if there is parking available, we used the City Tour Hop On Hop Off trolley. The Irish pub attached had good food."

What is a historic hotel like in Boston?

These are quite similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe.

Yes, efforts are made to preserve the historic aspects and traditions, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features.
