About the Hotel
E.M. Statler opened the Hilton Boston Park Plaza hotel in 1927 as “The Statler Hotel.” Throughout its history it has served as one of the nation’s most iconic hotels hosting dignitaries, US presidents and Hollywood royalty. Following a landmark renovation in 2016, the hotel now offers guests all the charisma and deeply individual charm of a historic hotel with the effortless comforts of a new one. The location also provides incomparable proximity to everything that makes Boston a treasured destination: the Boston Common, Public Garden, Theater District and many of the city’s most popular historical sites.
Travel to Boston
Boston is serviced by Logan International Airport (BOS). The airport is located 5 miles from the Hilton Boston Park Plaza hotel. Taxi service, ride share options (such as Uber and Lyft), and subway (“T”) service, are all available from the airport to the hotel.
