New hotels in Downtown Boston

Boston's Downtown and Financial District mix office towers with Freedom Trail stops — the Old State House, Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market — within walking distance of both the waterfront and Boston Common. Four hotels we track sit within these boundaries: Hyatt Centric Faneuil Hall Boston, Canopy by Hilton Boston Downtown, The Dagny Boston, and 110 Canal Street Hotel, an approved office-to-hotel conversion in the Bulfinch Triangle near North Station.

What to do in downtown Boston

For a weekend

Walk the Freedom Trail through the Old State House, Faneuil Hall Marketplace and Quincy Market, then follow the Rose Kennedy Greenway's park space past Canopy by Hilton Boston Downtown's front door toward the North End. Post Office Square's small park, overlooked by Hyatt Centric Faneuil Hall Boston, is a rare pocket of green in the Financial District's office core.

For a longer stay

With more time, TD Garden and the North End are a few minutes on foot from Canopy by Hilton Boston Downtown, and the Bulfinch Triangle around North Station — home to the approved 110 Canal Street Hotel conversion — has drawn several hotel-conversion proposals as the district's office market has softened. Back Bay is roughly a 20-minute walk west.

Where to stay in downtown Boston

Financial District

Hyatt Centric Faneuil Hall Boston opened in January 2019 at 68 Devonshire Street, combining an Art Deco office block with a new addition overlooking Post Office Square. The Dagny Boston reopened in August 2023 inside the 1928 Batterymarch Building at 89 Broad Street, shedding a 25-year Hilton flag for an independent identity after a $32 million renovation.

The Rose Kennedy Greenway

Canopy by Hilton Boston Downtown opened in March 2022 at 99 Blackstone Street, Massachusetts' first Canopy property, with several rooms and suites looking out over the Greenway toward the North End.

Bulfinch Triangle & North Station

110 Canal Street Hotel would convert a vacant seven-story office building — formerly architecture firm CBT's own headquarters — into an 84-room hotel; Boston's planning agency approved the conversion in October 2024, but no brand or construction start date has been confirmed.

Business travelers based in the Financial District

Hyatt Centric Faneuil Hall Boston and The Dagny Boston both sit inside the Financial District itself, within a few minutes of State Street's towers and Post Office Square.

Travelers who want Greenway and Faneuil Hall views

Canopy by Hilton Boston Downtown's Greenway-facing balconies are a distinctive feature in a downtown core where outdoor space at this price point is rare.

Travelers watching for downtown's next opening

110 Canal Street Hotel is approved but not yet under construction — worth checking back once a brand and opening date are confirmed.
