Boston Park Plaza
50 Park Plaza at Arlington Street, Boston, MA 02116
Boston Park Plaza is a Boston icon that is as much a part of the city’s heritage as the Boston Tea Party and the annual Head of the Charles Regatta.
Following a landmark renovation, Boston Park Plaza offers guests all the charisma and charm of a historic hotel with the comforts of a new one. The hotel offers incomparable proximity to everything that makes Boston a treasured destination, just steps away from the Public Garden, Theater District and many of the city’s most popular historical sites.
All sessions (including the Saturday keynote lunch) will be held at the Park Plaza.
Boston
Boston is one of the most historic towns in the United States. It is considered the birthplace of the American Revolution because so many groundbreaking historic events took place there. The many historic sites in Boston span nearly four centuries of history.
As one of the oldest cities in the United States, Boston is home to some of the country’s top historical sites including the USS Constitution – the oldest warship still afloat – and the Paul Revere House. Attend a performance at the Boston Symphony Hall or the Orpheum Theatre and marvel at the four-story coral reef exhibit at the New England Aquarium. When it comes to art, Boston’s museums, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston shine with world-class works ranging from classic to contemporary. In many cases, even the buildings are works of art.
True to Boston’s reputation as America’s Walking City, you can stroll to historic sites like Faneuil Hall and the Paul Revere House as well as the Freedom Trail. Set out on foot to enjoy the variety of chef-driven restaurants, art museums, and live performances at renowned theaters. Some of the city’s most picturesque neighborhoods and college campuses are also just a short walk away.
