Boxer Hotel

Boston

LoginSave

Exemplifying the up-and-coming character of this once-downtrodden district, this boutique hotel occupies a fully restored 19th-century flatiron building on the western edge of the Bulfinch Triangle. Design elements like open-frame wardrobes and plaid bedding exhibit a subtly masculine sophistication. Technology perks include Keurig coffee makers, iHomes and flat-screen TVs.

Due to the triangular shape of the building, the rooms vary by size and shape, and some of them are pretty cramped. If this is a concern, it's worth requesting a larger room when you make your reservation.
