Kimpton Nine Zero Hotel - Boston (Blog)

Kimpton Nine Zero Hotel – Boston 

Smart. Bold. Bohemian.

Walking into the Nine Zero lobby, we were immediately put at ease after our day of travel. With dark wood accents and luxurious leather furniture, the Kimpton effortlessly brings old-school Boston style into the modern era—in a calming, subtle manner. Every design choice and art piece throughout the hotel is selected with intention, and it’s felt during the stay via the relaxed and quiet atmosphere.

After a warm greeting from the front desk, with water and a place to set our things, we smoothly checked in and made our way to our room. Entering the suite, the decor felt like a smooth transition from the lobby, with dark, bold bohemian stylistic choices continuing through. I finally got to settle into the Eames chair—a personal favorite piece—and we began to wind down. Our vacation had begun.

Located directly on the famous Freedom Trail, visitors could not ask for a better starting location for seeing the historic sites that Boston offers. After a quick coffee pit stop (Ogawa and Tatte being our favorites nearby), we started our own journey along the trail at Boston Commons nearby and set off for the day. While we opted to be our own guides as we had both previously experienced a guided tour in Boston, there’s a variety of options for all types of groups, including walking, biking, segway, double-decker bus, trolley, and even spooky options if that tickles your fancy.

For dinner, we would highly recommend Ma Maison, a quaint French restaurant within walking distance from Kimpton. After filling up on escargot and pinot grigio, take a stroll through the incredible brownstone streets of Boston, and don't be afraid to get lost—every turn we took us down a unique, quaint little street.

On the subject of food, Boston has an incredible restaurant community with an array of options in every cuisine. After taking a tour of the harbor or Tea Party Museum, the Barking Crab is the place to get your Northeast crab and lobster fix. The North End of the city is known for its Italian restaurants, where patrons would be hard-pressed to find a bad meal among the dozens of eateries. Euno was the restaurant of choice one night, where we received excellent service and an even better meal. Lastly, a trip to Boston would not be complete without at least one Fenway Frank, so take in a Red Sox game in one of the most storied stadiums in sports. 

All-in-all, Boston is an incredibly historic, delicious, and exciting big-little town—we fell in love with it during our time here.
