Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: The lobby, with its wood-paneled walls, gilded and coffered ceilings, bronze elevator doors, and chandeliers, is a glamorous downtown rendezvous. Throughout the Boston Omni Parker House Hotel, paintings and prints depict over 150 years of local history. The Press Room has been the launching pad for countless Massachusetts politicians through the years. Within easy access of Boston’s historical, shopping, financial, and government districts, this hotel draws equal numbers of vacationers and business travelers.
Amenity highlights: Boston Cream Pie, Boston Scrod, and, of course, Parker House Rolls all originated—and are still served—at Parker’s, the hotel’s renowned restaurant. John F. Kennedy proposed to Jacqueline Bouvier at Table 40. Complimentary wireless Internet access is available in the lobby.

Or take a complimentary 90-minute guided tour of the downtown portion of the Freedom Trail, led by National Park Service rangers. Ranger tours are offered daily mid-April through Thanksgiving and begin at park headquarters on 15 State Street, about two blocks from the hotel.

Dining
Parker's - Appointed with oak paneling and Waterford chandeliers, Parker’s serves American and Continental cuisine, including its famous Parker House Rolls and Boston Cream Pie. John F. Kennedy proposed to Jacqueline Bouvier at Table 40.
Parker's Bar - Mahogany paneling, a fireplace, and stained-glass windows provide appealing surroundings for cocktails, along with dining from the Parker’s menu. The spot was popular with Boston’s Saturday Club, a 19th-century literary group that included Thoreau, Emerson, and Oliver Wendell Holmes.
The Last Hurrah - This bar draws locals and Beacon Hill politicians for drinks and meals. It has a lighter, more casual feel than Parker's and is a good spot for people-watching both inside and out along School and Tremont streets.
