Omni Parker House050

The Omni Parker House puts visitors right where they ought to be - where the action is. Located on the Freedom Trail in Boston's downtown financial district, this hotel has accommodated comfort-seeking travellers since 1856. The hotel recently underwent a $70 million restoration, but has managed to keep its historic charm. Families will be pleased at the attention paid to making a stay with children a pleasant one. The hotel has a Kids' Program that serves up lots of goodies. Upon arrival little guests receive a bag filled with treats, coloring book and crayons, a slap band, foam boomerang, and a list of places to visit in town. Kids are also greeted with an enticing plate of cookies and milk when they enter their room. Other little person perks include cable television and Nintendo 64 in each room. It may be difficult to convince the kids to leave the hotel! If Fido is begging to come along, he can bunk with the family as long as he weighs in under 25 pounds. A non-refundable $50 fee is charged for an animal stay. You'll pay less for your children - children under 17 are free. Packages: The hotel offers different packages but the Discover Boston package is particularly attractive for families. A family of four stays for $169 per night and receives four free passes to the two-hour Discover Boston trolley tour. The tour tickets are valued at $74. The Parker House is within walking distance to Faneuil Hall Marketplace, the Boston Common, the Public Garden, New England Aquarium, and the Children's Museum.
