General Information

The Gryphon House was built in 1895 as a single family home. The interior is dominated by a majestic curved stairway leading from the lobby to the fourth floor. The large hunter green parlor is set off by gilded moldings, mirrors, and faux marble which complements the original golden onyx fireplace. Each suite is keyed to a theme, and offers unique decorative touches, such as stained glass or silk lampshades, original fine art, antiques, or trompe l'oeil painting. All suites have a wet bar, refrigerator, custom built cabinetry with granite countertops, large private bath featuring oversized Kohler tubs and showers, comfortable sitting and work areas complete with direct line phones, free local calls, private voice mail, and wireless internet.

Location

  • Location is best described as: Boston Back Bay, Fenway Park, Kemore Square
  • Nearest major city: Boston, MA (0 miles)
  • Directions to property:
    From either east or west on Storrow Drive (the highway along the Charles River on the Boston side), take the exit for Kenmore Square. As you are exiting, stay to the far right, and at the first traffic light, make the sharpest right turn possible (the wide right is Beacon St.; the sharp right is Bay State Road). Go down just twenty-five yards and you'll be right in front of our door!
  • Nearest major airport: BOS 4 miles
  • Directions from airport:
    Follow the signs to Boston via the Sumner Tunnel ($3.00 toll). Stay to the right and follow the signs to Storrow Drive (exit #26). Follow Storrow Drive West. Just past the exit for Mass. Ave., you'll come to a double exit for Fenway/Kenmore (all exits are on your left; the river is on your right).The sign will say "left lane for exit", but if you stay in the center lane, you will exit smoothly into the Kenmore part of the exit, which is the one that you want. Stay to the right as you exit, because you will make an extremely sharp right at the very first stop light. Stay to the right as if you were going to pull over and park. About 5 car lengths down, you'll see a big tree and a fire hydrant--that's right in front of the Gryphon House!
