The Omni Parker House is one of Boston's most historic hotels and is full of Old World charm. Its lobby has wood paneling and ceiling beams, there are oriental carpets and chandeliers and its staff is friendly.
Dickens slept here, and so did President John F. Kennedy and a host of other notables. The Kennedy and Dickens legends are particularly strong: JFK launched his presidential campaign from this hotel, and Charles Dickens joined American writers, Longfellow, Emerson and others at the hotel's famed Saturday Club.
The home of Parker House rolls has highest standards, superb cuisine and plenty of cozy ambiance. And it's steps from Boston Common, Government Center, Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall.
