The lower-middle-range College Club of Boston offers a memorable way to stay in Boston’s popular Back Bay. Many attractions are within walking distance, including Boston Common and the Hynes Convention Center. The quiet and classy boutique hotel occupies a brownstone dating back to 1864, which houses the nation’s oldest women’s college club. Interiors are filled with period antiques, including the 11 individually decorated guest rooms. Five of them are single rooms, which have shared bathrooms. Amenities are a bit sparse, with no in-room TVs or coffeemakers. The continental breakfast and Wi-Fi are free, but there’s no on-site parking. Rates are affordable given the pricey Back Bay location, but the property often sells out. The budget Milner Hotel in the nearby Theater District usually has lower rates, though rooms are not as nice.
