New Massachusetts Four Diamond Hotels for 2017

AAA added four Massachusetts hotels to its exclusive Four Diamond list for 2017.

Boston Park Plaza: This hotel is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year after completing a multiyear, $100 million renovation in 2016. Furniture and fixtures throughout the hotel were replaced, the 1,060 guestrooms and communal areas were completely redone and a library room was added.

The Godfrey Hotel: Its opening in February 2016 followed a restoration of the historic Blake and Amory buildings in Boston’s Downtown Crossing neighborhood. Its 242 rooms offer luxury bedding and upholstered seating. Guests can also use their smartphones to stream photos, videos and music to 55-inch, in-room televisions.

The Royal Sonesta Boston: Located along the Charles River in Cambridge, it provides easy access to attractions like the Museum of Science and the Freedom Trail. It has 400 guest rooms and 28,000 square feet of meeting space. In 2014, the hotel renovated 200 guest rooms and added a new lobby.

The Inn at Hastings Park: This Lexington, Mass., property offers a different sort of luxury experience. Guests stay in one of three restored historic buildings built in the mid and late 19th century. The inn is a short walk from the Lexington Battle Green, where the opening shots were fired in the battles of Lexington and Concord, setting into motion the American Revolution.
