Deluxe Room, 1 Queen Bed

The room offers a downtown Boston view. Omni Parker House sits at the corner of Tremont and School Streets, so you are right in the middle of the city's historic core. Blackout drapes help you sleep in once you have come back from sightseeing.

The room has one Queen Bed and sleeps 2 guests. The bedding is premium and hypo-allergenic, and there is a pillow menu if you like a particular pillow. A rollaway or extra bed cannot be added to this category. Free cribs are available on request, and connecting rooms are available for larger groups.

The private bathroom has a shower, towels, a hair dryer and free toiletries. Bathrobes are provided too. It is a practical, well-stocked bathroom for a city stay.

At 215 sq. ft., this is a compact, efficient room that suits two guests. It has a desk for working, thin carpet, and air conditioning and heating that you control. It is accessible, with closed captioned TV. Guests who want more room can ask about suites, as the hotel has 19 of them among its 551 rooms.

There is a 55-inch LCD TV with premium channels, streaming services, pay movies and closed captioning, plus an MP3 dock. You also get free WiFi (25+ Mbps), a coffee/tea maker, a mini-fridge and free bottled water. A microwave is available on request. Room service runs on limited hours, with breakfast from 6:30 AM to 11 AM and dinner in the evening.

It suits couples, solo and business travelers best, with one queen bed for two. Omni Parker House also welcomes families. Children of all ages are welcome, and its Kids Crew program gives young guests coloring books and puzzles at check-in. Families needing more beds should consider connecting rooms, since a rollaway cannot be added here.

The location is the main draw. Boston Common is about a 4-minute walk. The Old State House is about 2 minutes away, and Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market are around 7 minutes on foot. The hotel is steps from the Freedom Trail, and King's Chapel is about a 5-minute walk.

There are three dining outlets on site. Parker's Restaurant is the birthplace of the Parker House roll and Boston Cream Pie. Parker's Bar is a cozy lounge inspired by the building's original library. The Last Hurrah is a famed whiskey bar open daily from 4 PM to midnight. School Street Coffeehouse is open daily from 7 AM to 10 PM. Hours are subject to change.

There is no pool or spa. A 24-hour fitness center with Peloton bikes is on the lower lobby level. If you prefer to work out in your room, Get Fit Kits with hand weights, a mat and bands are available at the front desk.
