The Spotlight on Clarendon Square

Stay Stylish in the Heart of Boston at Clarendon Square

Modern luxury meets historic charm at Clarendon Square, a boutique bed and breakfast tucked into Boston’s elegant South End. With sleek, thoughtfully designed guest rooms, a rooftop hot tub, and panoramic city views, this is a peaceful urban retreat just minutes from the energy of downtown music venues.
Expect plush comforts like bathrobes, walk-in showers, streaming-ready flat-screens, and in-room coffee setups, all wrapped in an intimate, upscale vibe.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and Clarendon Square puts you close to some of Boston’s top music destinations—including Back Bay and the Theatre District—while still offering a quiet, restful atmosphere for the post-concert wind-down. With flexible check-in from 3 PM and check-out at 11 AM, there's just enough wiggle room for late nights. The South End location means you're never far from late-night rideshares, and the relaxing rooftop hot tub is a fan favorite after standing-room-only shows.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a stylish, shared getaway
  • Solo travelers attending a can’t-miss show
  • Couples planning a romantic concert weekend
  • Fans who want a quiet, restful space after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers seeking boutique charm without the big hotel bustle

Food and Drink Options

While Clarendon Square doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, each room includes a minibar, fridge, and coffee machine—perfect for late-night snacks or next-morning pick-me-ups. Plus, you're within easy walking distance of some of Boston’s best eateries, from casual cafés to high-end dining. Breakfast in bed? Not officially, but your in-room setup makes it easy to DIY.

Nightlife Options

You're in the South End, one of Boston’s most vibrant neighborhoods for nightlife. Head out to nearby jazz lounges, cocktail bars, or local pubs after the show. Prefer to keep it low-key? The rooftop terrace offers a serene spot to sip and unwind under the city lights.

What People Say

Guests rave about the beautifully designed rooms, peaceful atmosphere, and thoughtful touches like premium linens and spa-style bathrooms. The rooftop hot tub and city views are consistent crowd-pleasers, and many call it a hidden gem for a quiet, central Boston stay.

Areas for Improvement

This isn’t your typical full-service hotel—there’s no on-site restaurant or 24/7 front desk. But for travelers who value charm and quiet over hustle and bustle, it’s a fair trade-off. Parking can be tricky, so consider ride-shares if you're planning a night out.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to Boston for a concert and want a stylish, serene stay close to the action, Clarendon Square hits all the right notes.

I would absolutely stay there again. It blew away our hotel in NYC from two weeks before.

Liked: There was great coffee but only bananas for breakfast. The location was fantastic. The decor was fabulous, room was spacious and comfortable. Staff was VERY responsive. The room was extremely quiet even with the guests right next door.
Disliked: The only thing that could have been better was an elevator for schlepping luggage up 4 floors. They did say we could ask the staff for help though. But you had to arrange for that.

Great time to get away and recharge on vacation. Enjoyed participating in the 2023 Boston Marathon.

Liked: Classy accomodations, relaxing atmosphere. Enjoyed the hot-tub on the roof.
Disliked: No elevator, was in town for the Marathon and it was tough getting up the steps after the race. This was expected though. Also hot water ran out on one of the cold days.

We are exciting to have found our "go to" location for visiting family in Boston.

Liked: This is a gorgeous Inn in a terrific location, especially if you are interested in sampling the wonderful restaurants in the South End. It was a pleasure to enjoy all of the wonderful design details. It is a special treat to stay somewhere nicer than home--all of the finishings were luxurious.
