The Spotlight on Hotel Commonwealth

Stylish Boston Stay Just Steps from the Music

Modern elegance meets East Coast charm at Hotel Commonwealth, a sleek, upscale hotel nestled in Boston’s vibrant Kenmore Square. Just a few hundred feet from Fenway Park and minutes from top music venues, this hotel blends a luxe boutique feel with a prime location for concert-goers. With spacious rooms, upscale dining, and stunning views of the Citgo Sign and Fenway Park, it’s a favorite for fans who want comfort and convenience.

Each room includes a 48-inch smart TV, a cozy sitting area, and a mini-fridge—perfect for winding down after a show. Add in in-room spa services and a 24-hour fitness center, and you’ve got everything you need for a memorable overnight or weekend music escape.

Why Concert-goers love it

You really can’t beat the location—just across from Fenway Park and within walking distance to several of Boston’s most iconic venues. The hotel’s flexible 4 PM check-in and 12 PM checkout gives concert fans time to rest and recover. Soundproofed rooms offer a peaceful retreat even in the middle of the city buzz, and with nearby T stations and late-night Uber availability, getting to and from shows is a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a show at Fenway or House of Blues
  • Solo travelers chasing their favorite artist across the country
  • Couples turning a concert into a romantic weekend
  • Fans wanting quiet luxury after a high-energy night
  • Budget-conscious music fans looking for walkable access and upscale perks

Food and Drink Options

You won’t go hungry here. Hotel Commonwealth is home to Blue Ribbon Sushi and the all-day Blue Ribbon Brasserie for everything from brunch to pre-show bites. TsuruTonTan Udon Noodle Brasserie keeps the late-night cravings in check with cocktails and Japanese comfort food. Prefer to stay in? Enjoy 24/7 room service, and don’t worry about sleeping in—breakfast is available well into the morning.

Nightlife Options

For those not ready to call it a night, you're just steps from Kenmore Square’s bars and lounges, or take a short walk to the Fenway area for more lively spots. The hotel’s own dining spaces offer a more relaxed scene with great drinks and people-watching. While there’s no live music on-site, you're never far from the action in this part of Boston.

What People Say

Guests rave about the location, especially for events at Fenway Park. Reviewers love the spacious, clean rooms, the quality of service from the award-winning concierge, and the easy access to the T subway line. Many mention it’s a go-to spot for game nights and concerts alike.

Areas for Improvement

Wi-Fi isn’t free, which can be a surprise at this price point. Some guests also noted that the immediate area gets busy during game nights—great for atmosphere, but not ideal if you’re hoping for total seclusion.

The Bottom Line

If you want to stay right in the heart of Boston’s music and sports scene without sacrificing comfort, Hotel Commonwealth delivers a front-row experience.

Exceptional hotel, from the staff...

Liked: The property itself is beautiful, it is clean and has exceptional amenities. The proximity to Fenway is incredible and the location is incredibly easy for transit, even for the out of towner. The Fenway facing rooms have a great view for the true Red Sox fans and the terrace is just beautiful! But the real gem of staying here is the staff. They not only go above and beyond to make your stay the best possible, but they treat you like family. They are kind, personable and knowledgeable, greeting you by name every time you walk by and making you feel welcome every second of your stay. I would recommend Hotel Commonwealth 1000 times over.
Disliked: Having to leave!

Superb

Disliked: I understand that Boston’s layout is tough for people drive and especially park in, but the one thing that was a let down was the price of how much they charge for vallet parking. I was stunned when the kind front desk worker told me that it was $75/per night JUST for parking. Again, it’s understandable, but I think $75 per night is kind of a lot. On top of that, we had no choice but to say “yes” to that charge because we were informed of it when we checked in. Otherwise, it was a great stay and my family and I would stay here again!
