Boston Common
Boston Common
Park
4 blks
Across Charles Street from the Public Garden, the Boston Common marks the official start of the Freedom Trail. It is the oldest park in the country, and spans almost 50 acres in size. With the city of Boston having so much history throughout it, the Boston Common is no exception. British troops camped on Boston Common prior to the Revolution and left from here to face colonial resistance at Lexington and Concord in April, 1775. Many might know of Boston Common’s greatest attraction, the Frog Pond. Throughout the year, the Frog Pond transforms to reflect the season. In the summer months, young kids flock from all over to cool off from Boston’s grueling temperatures. Parents can look on as their children splash around while enjoying one of the delicious picnic lunches that the in-room dining team carefully prepares at The Fairmont Copley Plaza. In the winter, people enjoy the Pond as an enchanting place to ice skate. No matter what the season or occasion, the Boston Common is a great place to visit!

Large enough for conferences, trade shows, and conventions, the Hynes also offers distinctive, easily configurable spaces that add a flair to executive functions, receptions, training sessions, and other small-scale events. And the Hynes also offers something no other convention center can: an intimate urban setting in one of the most desirable tourist destinations in the world.

Park

Explore Boston Public Garden and discover a picturesque park with a rich history and plentiful landscapes. During the warmer seasons, the four acre pond located in the Boston Public Gardens is usually the home of one or more swans and is always the site of the Swan Boats - one of the city’s most famous tourist attractions. For a small fee, tourists can be pedaled around the peaceful lake by a tour guide. The Boston Public Garden is also home to several iconic statues. A family favorite is the set of bronze statues based on the main characters from the children’s story Make Way for Ducklings, which is located between the pond and the Charles and Beacon streets entrance. Take a piece of this memory home with you by picking up a copy of the book in the Fairmont Store!
