Boston Insider Tip: Want to Experience Boston's Luxury Boutique Hotels for Less?
Rates at Boston's luxury boutique hotels can be more affordable than you might expect, especially if you avoid the busiest season (mid-May through mid-October) when all Boston hotel rates soar.
Visit during Boston's "off-season" - January through March and you'll find the lowest rates of the year. Our weather may not be at its best, but it's actually the perfect time of the year to visit if you love museums, concerts, and pro hockey and basketball. Ice skating on the pond in Boston Commons is also lots of fun.
For milder weather and only somewhat higher rates, plan your visit for April through mid-May when every flower in Boston bursts into bloom, or November - December when the festive holiday season lights up the city.
