Many budget travelers approach big cities by planning visits to individual neighborhoods. Establishing bases in popular, pleasant areas can add much to your experience and to your knowledge of a destination.
In Boston, the Back Bay area is among the best choices. It offers world-class shopping, great eateries and a proximity to both Public Garden and the downtown attractions. Unfortunately for those of us who watch our budgets, Back Bay is also among the most expensive places to stay in Boston, a city where the average two-star room (if you can find one) approaches $200/night.
Against that backdrop, the Taj Boston's "Stay & Play" offer has a lot of appeal. This five-star former Ritz hotel at the corner of Newbury and Arlington streets offers room rates from $219/night through Oct. 31. With that rate you also receive discount coupons for eight exclusive area boutiques, a full American breakfast each morning and complimentary valet parking. Should you arrive by air, the Arlington subway stop is just one block away. A ride to the airport is $2.
The entrance to the Public Garden is directly across the street from the hotel and you aren't far from Boston's theater district or the Freedom Trail.
