THE US BOSTON DESTINATIONS 18.00: Faneuil Hall Tried &Tested XV BEACON HOTEL


remain in character throughout the tour and visitors are encouraged to heckle and jeer (usually whenever the English are mentioned).


18.00: Opt for an early dinner at bustling Faneuil Hall, which has been a marketplace since 1743. Today, you’ll find more than 100 restaurants and retail outlets, including many independent boutiques and stalls serving


cuisine from all over the world. Order your food and chow down under the beautiful glass canopies. Grab a post-dinner drink at one of the area’s many bars or enjoy a tipple on the market hall’s steps – the perfect spot for some people-watching. There’s always something to see, thanks to a packed schedule of free events which includes everything from music festivals to pet parades.


This stylish, 63-room boutique hotel, housed in a Beaux Arts building, is nestled in the chic neighbourhood of Beacon Hill and is perfectly located for exploring all sides of the city. Enormous beds and fireside armchairs makes this property feel like a home from home, while services such as a courtesy car and shoe shines make it ideal for business travellers.


There’s a small gym and a plant-covered rooftop – head here just before the sun sets for breathtaking views of the city. Breakfast is served at the hotel’s restaurant, Mooo. It’s a popular cocktail spot but it’s the food which takes centre stage, in particular seafood such as oysters, Osetra caviar and lobster bisque. Rooms start from £296 a night. xvbeacon.com
