The Place

Even though Boston may be the most well-known, Massachusetts hotels are welcoming in just about every city from Salem to Sheffield. You could take the kids to a museum of art, science, and culture, go whale watching in Provincetown, or cheer on the Red Sox as you jump up from your stadium seat during a game of baseball. While you're in Boston, visit the Skywalk Observatory for a complete 360 degree view of the city or walk along a Freedom Trail and experience a time of great American Revolution.
