Best for history & sightseeing — steps from the Freedom Trail, Boston Common, Faneuil Hall and old-city attractions.

Best for Seaport access, conventions and resort-style amenities — full-service spa, heated outdoor pool, numerous meeting rooms and on-site restaurants.
When Omni Parker House wins: pick Parker House if you want a landmark hotel in downtown Boston with historic restaurants (Parker's Restaurant, Parker's Bar, The Last Hurrah), immediate access to the Freedom Trail and compact downtown walks to theaters, museums and Boston Common.
When Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport wins: choose the Seaport property if you need large meeting capacity, a modern full-service spa and an outdoor heated pool, or if you prefer to be based in the Seaport/Convention Center neighborhood near Boston Harbor.
Bottom line: Both are Omni hotels with different strengths — Parker House for history, central sightseeing and classic on-site dining; Omni Seaport for newer facilities, wellness and bigger event/meeting options. Your neighborhood preference and need for a pool/spa will decide it.
