My recent New England trip started in Boston, Massachusetts, and while I only spent a few days in the city, I fell in love! One of the oldest cities in the US, Boston is the perfect blend of history and modernity. I enjoyed strolling the streets and seeing the colonial-style buildings right beside modern buildings. Boston provided the ideal first stop on my New England tour. The city satisfied my history buff side, my foodie side, and my adventurous side!
During our brief time in Boston, we stayed at the beautiful Boston Harbor Hotel at Rowes Wharf. Boston Harbor is a 5-star luxury hotel located right on the waterfront, overlooking the Boston Harbor. The hotel was an easy commute from Logan Airport and it’s centrally located to numerous Boston attractions. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed and the service was everything you would expect from a 5-star hotel. At check-in, the front desk agent asked if it was my first visit to Boston, and upon learning it was, he kindly and generously upgraded my room to a harbor view suite! Be sure to check my IG page for views from my room!
Did you know the nickname “Beantown” came as a result of a love among the city’s earliest settlers of baked beans in molasses? I was able to discover so many fun facts about Boston during my time. I’ll share some of my favorites with you!
We were able to squeeze in a visit to Old State House and stand on the spot of the Boston Massacre. Old State House is where the Declaration of Independence was first proclaimed on July 18 from its balcony. I continue to be blown away by how much American History there is to discover in Boston. I was also very pleased to see that Boston features African American History heavily as well. There was an awesome Black History display in Faneuil Hall that was very moving. I was deeply touched by the New England Holocaust Memorial as well. With no prior knowledge of the Memorial, I discovered it just by walking the streets of the city! It was so special to “accidentally” discover the memorial. I wish I had more time in the city to explore even more historic sites!
Thank you so much for joining me on this brief tour of Boston, Massachusetts. Be sure to come back for more of New England, I’ve got lots to share!
