Quick Verdict: Omni Parker House vs Fairmont Copley Plaza, Boston

When Omni Parker House wins: choose Omni if you want to be in the thick of Boston’s oldest downtown neighborhoods and Freedom Trail attractions, if you care about the hotel’s culinary history (Boston Cream Pie, Parker House Rolls), or if you’re traveling with kids.
