With just five spacious, Victorian-style rooms, this four-story brick townhouse in the South End feels like a private home. Each room is decorated differently but all have granite-tiled baths, a wet bar, and queen-size beds. A short walk from Copley and Back Bay “T” stops, it’s pretty central, too.

This townhouse hotel is mere steps from Boston Common (see Boston Common & Public Garden). The rooms are mostly small but Euro-chic, and there’s a first-floor bistro that serves breakfast (included in rates). There’s even a private roofdeck for guests.

This four-story brownstone townhouse has been renovated to create quiet, elegant rooms that can, at a pinch, sleep four. Close to Fenway Park and Kenmore Square.

Most rooms in this friendly Victorian-style B&B have private baths, but four share. Guests also have use of a kitchen.
