Road trippin' to Boston

Comet · 04-17-2010, 07:34 PM

So I'll be coming back to Montreal around end of June and my friends want to organize a road trip.

Can someone recommend a good hotel there? and by good I mean 5*, top notch shit.
I'm extremely picky when it comes to hotels and I don't mind spending the coin.
I like the room to tempt me to stay instead of going out and sight seeing.

I'd be down to spending somewhere up to ~400$ per night.

I like modern over old school..
something like a Park Hyatt (but there are none there).

Thanks for the suggestions guys

edit: NYC is out of the picture because of the Zero Gravity experience.

For NYC, the Michelangelo is a really good hotel. I stayed there when I went to Old Yankee Stadium back in 2008 and going there again in June when I go to New Yankee Stadium. Plus, it isn't far from Gordon Ramsay's restaurant. I went to his restaurant in London and it was really good food. Best hamburger I ever hand.

I could be wrong but I don't think $400/night will get you 5 star in NYC. Maybe if it's the most basic room, no view, and off season.

it is Boston

There's a thread in the NE section about things to do and places to stay in Boston, check it out.

i stayed at the hotel nine zero and was pleased. it is a kimpton boutique, and is right across the street from the boston commons. The liberty hotel is also pretty nice and modern, and it is a converted prison.

bleh, don't care for partying much

I'm going for the hell of seeing Boston..
so I guess sight seeing... I've been to Boston once a loooong time ago (I was like 7)

+ a friend of mine recommended me a resto with the sickest porter house

also my main thing is the zero gravity experience

Even though I am a Yankees fan, as a fan of historical buildings you have to go to Fenway.

I stayed at the Lenox this past summer, nice hotel/location. The lounge/bar was small but it was poppin!
