Hotels Near Faneuil Hall: Where to Stay by Quincy Market and the Harbor

Fourteen hotels measured on foot from Faneuil Hall and the Aquarium, with suites, pools, the hotels without destination fees, and what's on around the marketplace.

Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market sit where Downtown, the North End and the waterfront meet: the Freedom Trail runs through them, the North End's restaurants start across the Greenway, and the Aquarium and Long Wharf are about five minutes away. From a hotel here, the Freedom Trail, the North End and the harbor are all within walking distance.

We chose fourteen hotels within about 13 minutes on foot of Faneuil Hall and estimated the walk from each to the hall and to the New England Aquarium on the street network. Five are within 4 minutes of Faneuil Hall. The two figures differ more than you might expect: the Long Wharf Marriott is 6 minutes from the hall but 3 from the Aquarium, the Omni Parker House 6 and 12. Parking, fees, pools and suites come from the hotels' official pages where available, and from travel sites otherwise, as noted.
