Clarendon Square

"I have been staying here for 18 years and this is a gem of a hotel/B&B with no parallel in the world. A hot tub on the roof with stunning views, superior comfort in every room, one of the most charming and beautiful streets of Boston, and every detail attended to. Lounge and public space is lovely. Drinks, glasses, robes, towels for the hot tub are all provided. This is a niche boutique hotel that's absolutely worth checking out. Hosts are extremely experienced and warm, and able to help with anything. Restaurant recommendations were top notch. I live in San Francisco and I was amazed at the food at all three places recommended by the hosts."

"If you’re looking for a boutique stay that feels like home with a touch of luxury, Clarendon Square in Boston’s South End is hard to beat. From the moment we stepped in, we were impressed by thoughtful design, charming historic touches, and a warmth that’s often missing in larger hotels. The owner couldn’t have been friendlier — welcoming, attentive, and clearly passionate about making guests feel special. The whole place is beautifully restored, with marble bathrooms, designer fabrics, artwork, and just enough modern comfort to make it feel indulgent without being over the top. One of the standout perks was the rooftop hot tub. Getting in there with views of the Boston skyline, especially around sunset, was a treat. It felt like a little secret escape after a long day of walking around the city. The location is excellent. It’s in a safe, walkable neighborhood where you can catch good restaurants, pretty streets, and all the character of Boston. We were able to walk to the Freedom Trail and many other iconic spots without having to rely on transit too much. We’d absolutely stay here again. It combines style, comfort, great service, and a superb location — exactly the kind of place that makes a trip memorable. Highly recommend to anyone wanting that boutique B&B feeling with all the perks."

"We spent 4 lovely days at the Clarendon Square B&B - the B&B is in a fantastic location, beautifully designed with a real eye for detail and style. Everything was spotless, cozy, and the rooftop terrace is just wonderful. Stephen is an outstanding host – incredibly thoughtful, always available, and full of great recommendations. You can feel how much heart and care goes into running this place. Absolutely recommended!"
