Discover One of America's Most Beautiful Parks

Located in the heart of one of America's great cities is one of the nation's most treasured parks: Boston Common. Known colloquially as "The Commons," this 50-acre plot of greenery between Downtown, Beacon Hill and Back Bay stands out as a serene place to picnic, wander, and get lost in the midst of a major metropolitan area.

Boston Common holds a rich history. It was established in 1634, making it America's oldest city park -- and meaning it predates America itself! -- and was used as a cow pasture, a Revolutionary War camp, and a communal gathering place for protests and civic demonstrations. In its more modern iteration, the Common is a National Historic Landmark that hosts treasured annual events like Shakespeare on the Common, a New Year's celebration with fireworks, and provides a place for Boston's populace to unwind in the warmer months. 

The Colonnade Hotel is located just a brief walk away from the calm and serenity of Boston Common. Stay at our hotel near Boston Common and take a moment, an hour, or an afternoon to slow down and enjoy the scenery.
