Newbury Guest House

BACK BAY. Located in the heart of one of Boston's trendiest shopping districts, this hotel was originally built as a private home in 1882 and did not open as a bed and breakfast until more than a century later. Today, the interior features reproduction Victorian furnishings and artwork from the Museum of Fine Arts. Guests are treated to a continental breakfast each morning, and reservations should be booked at least two months in advance with rates from $135 and up.
