The Best of Boston Awaits
Boston is known as "America's Walking City" and when you stay at The Lenox Hotel, you are in the heart of the prestigious Back Bay neighborhood - one of the most desirable locations in the city. From here you can plan your adventures in and around the city of Boston and we've compiled a list to help you take advantage of all wonderful Boston attractions and sites.
The Lenox itself is located at the corner of Boylston and Exeter Streets, home to many well-known landmarks including: Trinity Church, the Prudential Center, Newbury Street (with its cafes, restaurants, and world-class shops), Copley Place, the Boston Public Library, and the Hynes Convention Center. We are only minutes from The New England Aquarium, Museum of Fine Arts, Fenway Park, and the Public Garden.
Just a short walk from the hotel you will discover the charming neighborhoods and sights of Boston: Beacon Hill and its cobblestone streets; the South End with its lively shops, restaurants and historic brownstones; colorful Chinatown; Boston's own "Little Italy" (The North End); and the Freedom Trail that winds by Faneuil Hall and many of Boston's most famous historical sites.
