Deluxe Rooms — multiple bed-size options
Deluxe Room, 1 King Bed; Deluxe Room, 1 Queen Bed; Deluxe Room, 2 Queen Beds; and Deluxe Room (Traditional) are grouped as upgraded mid-level rooms with larger beds or more sleeping options. Official listings show these Deluxe variants with either 1 King, 1 Queen, 2 Queen, or 1 Queen (Traditional) depending on the specific Deluxe SKU.
Deluxe rooms provide more space or alternative bedding compared with Traditional Room, making them better for couples who want a king bed or small groups sharing two queen beds.
- Deluxe Room, 1 King Bed — Beds: 1 King Bed; best for couples or business travelers who want more sleeping space.
- Deluxe Room, 1 Queen Bed & Deluxe Room (Traditional) — Beds: 1 Queen Bed; good for solo travelers or couples preferring a queen.

Parkers Petite Room, Room, and Deluxe (Traditional) — compact options
Parkers Petite Room and the Room (1 Queen Bed) are compact choices intended for guests who plan to spend most of their time out exploring Boston. Parkers Petite Room is listed with 1 Double Bed; the Room and Deluxe (Traditional) both list 1 Queen Bed.
These are economical choices within the hotel’s renovated inventory; they work well for single travelers or couples who want a clean, well-located room without extra seating or living space.

Executive Room and Signature Room — business-leaning and larger doubles
Executive Room is listed with 1 King Bed; it typically targets business travelers who want added space or a separate seating area. Signature Room is listed with 2 Queen Beds and suits guests needing two larger beds without moving into a suite.
Use these rooms when you want more in-room workspace or two beds for sharing travelers. The Executive Room is the better single-king option for a business trip; Signature Room is the two-queen option for friends or families using existing bedding.
- Executive Room — Beds: 1 King Bed; good for business travelers needing a desk and more space.
- Signature Room — Beds: 2 Queen Beds; good for families or two adults traveling together.
