After your St. Patrick's Day pub crawl, retreat to cheap Boston hotels such as The Langham.
St. Patrick’s Day approaches, and short of flying across the pond to Ireland, there are few places that get more into the spirit than Boston. That’s no surprise when you consider that the Boston Irish Tourism Association reports almost a quarter of Massachusetts residents claims Irish ancestry.
South Boston will host its annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Sunday, March 20. In addition to the main event, dozens of pubs, bars and restaurants host Irish-inspired events around this time.
Looking for cheap vacation packages this spring? Here are three cheap Boston hotels to consider.
Seaport Hotel
This waterfront hotel is located within a mile of the starting point for South Boston’s parade, so you’ll be able to experience this annual tradition firsthand. You’ll also be within three blocks of Harpoon Brewery and half a mile from the Boston Children’s Museum. Guests rave about the Seaport Hotel’s waterfront views and luxurious accommodations.
The Langham, Boston
Located in the former Federal Reserve Building, The Langham offers classic Boston elegance in the city’s Financial District. From there, it’s a short walk to shopping in Downtown Crossing, as well as lots of bars in the Financial District and nearby Faneuil Hall.
Doubletree Hotel Boston – Downtown
If you want to stay at the heart of Boston’s nightlife scene, then the Doubletree Hotel offers proximity to Chinatown, the theater district, and more. Plush-top mattresses and luxe linens ensure that you’ll sleep peacefully after a night on the town.
