Nine Zero, A Kimpton Hotel, Boston

Location 

This sleek and modern boutique hotel is right in the heart of downtown Boston, just across from Boston Common, America’s oldest park. The hotel sits on Boston’s famous Freedom Trail, a three-mile self-guided walk that follows signposted, red-striped waymarks to 18 Revolutionary War-era landmarks, including monuments, churches, graveyards, old battle ships, markets and the Old State House, Boston’s oldest public building (1713) and the former British government headquarters in the colonies.

Accommodation 

The super smooth lines and bursts of vibrant colour aren’t even the most surprising things you’ll find in Nine Zero’s superbly appointed guest rooms. Those accolades go to the pet fish the hotel will loan you, the yoga channel available on every TV, and the complimentary yoga kits available on request, should, heaven forbid, you forget your own mat. Other noteworthy touches include luxury C.O. Bigelow and Etro bath amenities, in-room spa services, same-day laundry and complimentary overnight shoeshine. Request a corner room if you can, as they offer the best views of the river and the city.

Dining

You’ll find a wealth of great restaurants in downtown Boston, all within easy reach of the hotel. To warm up, take advantage of the hotel’s wine hour, where every evening in the lobby from 5 to 6pm, guests are taken through a selection of hand-packed wines as they mingle and relax. From there it’s tempting to head into the hotel’s Highball Lounge, a vintage cocktail bar with a southern and Asian-inspired menu, chesterfield sofas, antique mirrored tables and a resident DJ.

Facilities 

Aside from the aforementioned yoga kits and in-room spa treatments, Nine Zero offers hotel bikes so that guests can explore Boston and even Cambridge on two wheels, an all-you-could-need business centre, and a 24-hour fitness centre. The concierge team know America’s most historic city inside out and will be only too happy to offer tips and suggestions for how to get the best out of Boston.
