Tailored townhouse bolthole
The property operates like an intimate Beacon Hill residence, centered on an open-hearth lounge and a secluded courtyard garden.
“The 65 guest rooms, with their navy and white rooms (referencing the city flag) and subway tile bathrooms, all feature tall windows…”

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
The Whitney Hotel fits perfectly into its red-brick surroundings, and inside you’ll find interiors that perfectly thread a stylistic needle…
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Beacon Hill's gas-lit streets run right from the door, and the Charles River Esplanade is steps away.
The rooms
Rooms wear a tailored navy and white palette, finished with subway-tiled bathrooms and brass monocles on each door.
The gym
Hydrow rowers and Tonal digital resistance stations equip the 24-hour studio, alongside seasonal loaner bikes.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Peregrine
Peregrine serves coastal Mediterranean dishes inspired by Sicily and Sardinia, opening onto a marble bar and courtyard tables.
Inside, past the engineered-marble check-in desks and the floor-to-ceiling glass cabinets filled with books from prominent Massachusetts authors, is a huge mantel framed by several conversation areas.
How it began
The redbrick structure originally opened in 1908 as dedicated housing for nurses at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear hospital.
