See Boston from the water and the land as your amphibious WWII retrofitted bus-boat plunges in and out of the Charles River. Eighty-minute Duck Tours are cheeky and fun — an engaging way to learn about Boston. The live narrated tour hits all the major landmarks, including Bunker Hill, the domed State House, Fleet Center, Newbury Street, Prudential Tower, Government Center and Quincy Market, recounting the pivotal history of this city of firsts, tall tales, local lore, obscure facts and revealing details.
Picture the Puritans strolling along the pastures back in the early 1600s at American’s very first public park. Colonists bought the original 44 acres from European settlers in 1634 to establish downtown’s Boston Common, an icon just a short walk from the hotel, also the start of The Freedom Trail.
Not just a grand building with shelves of ancient tomes, the famed Boston Public Library is a celebrated landmark. It’s also right across the street from the hotel.
