What is a nice hotel in Boston for the history buff?

My husband and I are planning a trip to Boston, but the hotel choices are getting overwhelming. We'd like a nice hotel; price isn't that important, but we're not looking for $500 a night either. The main reason we've chosen Boston for a vacation is we would love to explore the history of the city. Is there a good hotel sort of central to some of the more famous spots? A hotel like this with some juicy history of it's own would be a plus! We'd be thrilled with some advice from seasoned Boston tourists or residents!What is a nice hotel in Boston for the history buff?
Not sure of the prices since they vary so much, but here's some historic hotel options.





Liberty Hotel -- used to be a jail





Parker House -- home of the Saturday Club (Longfellow and Thoreau), invented Parker House rolls and Boston Cream Pie. On the Freedom Trail and right in the middle of everything.





Langham Hotel -- great NC Wyeth murals, used to be the Federal Reserve Bank.





Jurys Boston -- used to be Police HeadquartersWhat is a nice hotel in Boston for the history buff?
I have been to Boston 4x in the last 10 years. Boston is known as a walking-city. Most places on a downtown map of Boston are within walking distance for the average person.





My husband and I stated at the Club Quarters in the Financial District and loved it! We were centrally located to a lot of the local hot spots (Fanueil Hall/Quincy Market), the NE Aquarium, Boston Common, etc.





I've also stayed at the Colonnade which is more near Copley Square, the (then) John Hancock Building, Prudential Center and the Christian Science Reflecting Pool. When I stayed there in 2001 - they were under different management or had not done renovations, etc. because the price I paid in 2001 was significantly less than what I was quoted in 2006 (the last time I was there and when I stayed at Club Quarters).





The North End is known as Little Italy and has some GREAT restaurants, but is not necessarily near the touristy stuff other than the Bunker Hill Monument and the USS Constitution.





I found the Boston for Dummies series to be EXTREMELY helpful when I was planning my 2001 and 2006 trips. When I visited in 1998 and 1999, I had family to be my tourguide.





Take a Duck Tour while are you are there. You can purchase tickets at the Prudential Center, Science Museum or Fanuiel Hall - it's a one-of-a-kind tour of the city.





Boston also has some GREAT food - the Black Rose and Purple Shamrock are good Irish pubs, Chart House is a great steak house, Legal Seafoods is reasonably-priced seafood, Tia is a great place for lobster.





Be sure to partake in the Freedom Trail walk and check out the campuses of Harvard and MIT.





Feel free to Email me directly if you have any other questions.





Good luck and have a great time!!!
