Last weekend, we set off on a getaway to Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts to visit our hosts AC Hotel Boston Downtown and AC Hotel Cambridge. We couldn’t wait to unwind and explore, so we set off on our mini-getaway as soon as we arrived home from work. Hope you find this review insightful!

Upon arrival at AC Hotel Boston Downtown, we were very happy with the location (although traffic was heavy). The hotel is just a short walk/drive to some of Boston’s most noteworthy attractions.

Such as…

We arrived on Friday evening at AC Hotel Downtown Boston. The valet was prompt in greeting us and kindly helped us with our luggage, Daniella at the front desk welcomed us with a smile and answered our questions as she checked us in and informed us about the near-by restaurants and attractions.

Thank you to AC Hotel Downtown Boston for the sweet surprise waiting for us in our room!

Both hotels feature European-inspired design, modern decor, and special thoughtful touches, such as coffee, tea, or hot cider (with mulling spices!) available in the lobbies, the AC Hotel Signature scent “Between the Woods”, custom cocktails, the AC Store, and (my personal favorite) a station to fill-our-own lavender pouches!
