The Gilded Lily

I recently completed my second stay at the Gilded Lily, and both times my experience was exceptional. I have stayed in a Garden Room and a Parlor Room. Both are beautifully and tastefully appointed. The beds are comfortable and the sheets are silky. The Innkeeper is most helpful and responsive. The housekeeper is friendly and hard working; she kept our room spotless and did so with good cheer. Claremont Place is an enchanting little street, and the location is perfect; close to everything yet away from the intensity of the city.

I recently had the opportunity to have an overnight getaway to Boston to attend the Boston Pops Holiday Concert. I found the Gilded Lily on TA and I knew as soon as I read the reviews that this is where I wanted to stay. Being an Innkeeper myself I prefer to stay at B & B's and hold very high standards. I was not disappointed. The location was perfect. It is a 15 minute walk from the Back Bay Amtrak station (I had taken the train from New Haven) and a 10 minute walk to Symphony Hall. It is located in South Boston amongst restored brownstone lined streets that lead to a beautiful pedestrian walkway that connects Back Bay Station with Mass Ave. The owner and host was most congenial. My room (Garden Room) was simply but exquisitely decorated. The little kitchenette between the two guest rooms provided everything you would need for a bountiful continental breakfast plus makings for coffee or tea whenever wanted. I have found my favorite B & B in Boston, will recommend to guests staying with us and will definitely be back. A friend and I are already planning a getaway there. Kudos to James and continued success

This is a delightful place to stay. We stayed in the Parlor Room, which was sympathetically decorated with modern furnishings blended with lovely period features. The bed was super comfortable, and the room was very quiet at night. Lovely restaurants are near by, and and the city sights are in easy walking distance. I would highly recommend this B&B.

We were staying with the family for one week in Boston sharing the 2 rooms connected by a fully equipped modern kitchen. Highlights: Walking Distance to all the important things - Tastefully furnished, best mattresses, I ever slept on - Houskeeping Service, very discreet - Friendly support by owner - Gorgeous Rooftop - see photos http://net88.de/geschenke/zimmer-boston/

I loved my stay at The Gilded Lily! It was so homey and comfortable. It also is close to everything and anything you'd want to do in Boston! But even though it is in the middle of the city I was surprised at how quiet and peaceful it was. To top it off the innkeeper is exceptional! I am definitely going to go again!
