Hotels near South Street put you beside Boston's waterfront.
Boston South Station is a historic train station that, today, serves double duty as tourist center and railway station for Amtrak and the Boston Subway. It was once the largest passenger depots in the world and served five different railroads. Several grand hotels are located within half a mile of the station, giving you an opportunity to explore this historic region in comfort.
InterContinental Boston
The InterContinental Boston is on the Boston waterfront, within walking distance--one fifth of a mile--north of Boston South Station and across the river from the Boston Children's Museum. The huge hotel offers over 400 rooms and suites with city and harbor views. A spa, health club and team of concierges stand at your disposal. Your room includes standard amenities, plus some extras: You'll find not one, for example, but three dual-line phones with voice mail. Internet access is not free, but your daily newspaper is. Special features in this luxury hotel include a weight scale in the bathroom, perhaps to gauge the impact of the hotel's three restaurants.
