It seems like only yesterday we were granted a three-day holiday respite thanks to Easter, and now it's almost Memorial Day weekend. That means two things: summer is almost here and it's a prime time to score a travel deal. While you'll have to wait for the former, we've...

Weve always liked Boston, but we also know a few people who think of it as a stuffy citytoo preppy and picture perfector a place full of obnoxious sports fans. One things for sure: the hotel scene in Boston has long been dominated by the big chains and historic...

When we checked into the Ames Hotel last week, one of the things we were most looking forward to was the food. The lobster sandwich we ordered from the room service menu (almost identical to the menu in the restaurant) was generous and tasty, served with thin, salty fries,...

When we think of Boston hotels, we tend to think of stately properties like the Taj and the Fairmont Copley Plazaplaces befitting the citys preppy-Yankee vibe. But with the Morgans Hotel Group now in town, that image is getting a shake up. The new Ames Hotel brings some serious...

Is Boston the new hot tourism market (or as much as a city can be "hot" in this economy?) On the heels of new airline routes starting out of Beantown by Virgin America and Southwest, we learn that Morgans Hotel Group--the folks behind the Mondrians and The Delano--will open...

Boston is hot right now and surprisingly, this bit of news has nothing to do with the newly crowned NBA Champs, The Celtics. Boston is becoming a little hotbed of boutique hotel activity and the latest to join the game is the Morgans Hotel Group. The super trendy hotel group...
