Charming Brownstone Comfort Just Outside Boston

A stay at Beacon Inn 1087 feels like stepping back in time—with modern comforts. Nestled in a historic 19th-century brownstone in Brookline, this cozy bed and breakfast is just 3.1 miles from downtown Boston.

With free Wi-Fi, uniquely decorated rooms (some with fireplaces!), and a light complimentary breakfast, it’s a charming, no-frills option for concert nights in Boston.

Why Concert-goers love it

What makes Beacon Inn 1087 a hidden gem for music fans is its proximity to major venues without the noise of downtown.

While check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM, the laid-back B&B vibe makes it feel less rushed than big hotels. Plus, its quiet location is ideal for post-show relaxation.
