Modern Scandi sensibilities meet one of America’s most historic cities at this newly revamped hotel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Granary Burying Ground sits directly across Tremont Street, with Boston Common and Beacon Hill just steps away.
The rooms
Pale batten paneling lines the bedrooms beside leather Eames lounge chairs, while upper-floor corner rooms gaze across Boston Common.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
The Bosworth serves Mediterranean dishes made with New England produce, and a.bar mixes evening cocktails just off the lobby.
How it began
Built on the former site of Dini’s Restaurant, the brick-and-glass tower opened in 2002 as the Nine Zero Hotel.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
