    This large hotel is just a block from the Public Garden and has a grand lobby, with many restaurants and shops to keep you busy. It is a perfect location for a Boston visit, with many attractions within walking distance. Helpful staff and nice large rooms, some with amazing city views.

    There are many conference rooms, and some activity on most weekends, both in the hotel, and at the Castle across the street. I spent a night here in January, and was surprised and amused to find a Fetish Festival in full swing! It was very easy to tell the tourists from the attendees, as men and women strolled by in head to toe leather, fishnet stockings and bustiers, kilts, and a few people being led on leashes. Every elevator ride was a riot!

    Our stay was wonderful. I was nervous at first since I started reading reviews and alot of people were complaining about the hotel but I thought the hotel was really nice. The Park Plaza is a old historic hotel. Opened in 1927 by E.M. Statler. Because of it being an old building the rooms are small but comfortable. The bathrooms are also small but not too small. The best part of this hotel is that its downtown and you can walk practically anywhere and if walking is too much or the distance is too far, then you can take the T. We got a great value through hotwire.com, and for staying right downtown, it was great! So If you dont live in your hotel room and you basically just sleep and wash up there like we do, you will love it.

    Heres a list of the Restaurants/Bars in the Hotel: (makes it nice when your feet hurt and you dont feel like walking anywhere else!) • Todd English's Bonfire • Swans Cafe • Whiskey Park • McCormick & Schmick's • Au Bon Pain • Finale • Ben & Jerry’s • Maggiano's Little Italy • Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar • M.J. O'Connor's • Smith & Wollensky's

  • The Park Plaza, or the Swiss Hotel.

    The swiss hotel has a wonderful restaurant, fine recreational facilities including a work-out room and a pool. The swiss hotel is great for the business traveler or the vacationer. The Park Plaza hotel is slightly older but is none-the-less a fine establishment for travelers or business men and women.

  • We had a wonderful stay. I was expecting the worst because of all the reviews that were bad on other sites but actually had a really great experience. We asked for a renovated room, which had a queen size bed. The room was small but I expected that because of how old the hotel actually was. I would definately recommend this hotel to anyone staying downtown boston. We also paid for our trip through hotwire and had no problems.

    This hotel was 2-4 blocks from everything. Definately a great place to stay if you dont want to deal with a car or even the subway much. We did use the subway some but we didnt have to if we didnt want to. It was a block to the boston commons and public garden, only a few blocks to china town and quincy market. Great hotel and really nice people!

  • Don't be deceived -- this is a bigtime hit or miss hotel. I was traveling with 2 business associates and although I did get a "nice" room, my 2 mates weren't so lucky. My "nice" room wasn't clean properly. To my shock, there were towels left on the floor and discarded shopping bags left in the room. They were quick to "fix" this problem but I just wasn't impressed. Now my associates room were not renovated and extremely small. My impression of their rooms was one of disgust. The rooms felt "dirty" and run down. I won't be back.

    Very good dining in the area.

    The best part about this hotel is that it is surrounded by historic Back Bay and is just one block from the theatre district. You can get great food close at the Bonfire Steakhouse or Swan's Court. The Whiskey Park is right there when its time for a drink.

    Valet parking Room service Restaurant and bar on site and many more ammenities

    This hotel will not disappoint you in any way. Off season and weekend rates are reasonable for Boston. Expect to pay almost twice as much for a weekday room. Try to get a weekend package that includes parking. Parking alone can cost $35 or more a night.

    This hotel is by the Boston Commons and near the historical "Freedom Trail". This hotel is just a stone's throw from Boston Commons. Boston Park Plaza is situated in the heart of Downtown Boston and the city’s Theatre District, Boston Park Plaza Hotel is ten blocks from the Hynes Convention Center and just three miles from Logan International Airport. The "T" stop Arlington Station is located right across the street.

  • I rented the $250 suite for my 18th birthday, which is a regular price for one night at most of the Boston Hotels. And I would say it was worth it! I got a two bed, two bath suite, the room wasn't as big as I tohught it would be, but the whole place is nice. Park Plaza is known for really classy people, or the rich go there usually. The decor is really fancy, that's why. But I know the other hotels are almost just as nice. So seriously, you don't HAVE to stay here, I bet other hotels like the Sheraton or Hilton Back Bay may be alot cheaper, and really just as satisfied! But if you want to brag to others about ya hotel, this and the Ritz-Carlton are the ones to go to. Plus, that's the Copley area, which has about 15 hotels in the same area! So it's doesn;t really matter based on location.

    I only stayed one night, so I didn't even check out everything else.

    This hotel is a complete sham. The "economy" rooms are a joke. I paid $189/night for one of the smallest rooms I have ever seen (smaller than many rooms I have seen in Europe) It gets MUCH worse. The room is horrendous. There are huge stains on the carpet, the paint is chipping off the walls, and I had to have my bedspread changed the first night I was here because there were yellow stains all over the front. The bathroom is tiny; we're talking 2x2 shower here, and the tile is so dingy, I wore flip flops while showering. The toilet has yellow water and ring where it was stained. ON TOP OF ALL THIS- the AC didn't work in the middle of summer!! What did I try to do to rectify the situation- 1. had bedspread changed. when I asked housekeeping to take a second look at the bathroom, she said that's just the way it is- "old hotel and all". 2.Complained about no AC twice and asked to switch rooms. I was apologized to- apparently it was out throughout the entire hotel (but somehow the lobby was nice and cool) I was asssured it wold be fixed by that evening. It was 90 degrees and humid today in Boston- no AC is not an option. especially when I am paying almost $200 a night. Now I'm sitting in my hot, stuffy, prision with no relief. AC still not fixed. I would NEVER stay here again, and I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. I'm sure the non-economy rooms are better, but not worth a penny.

    Close to everything.
