Bed-and-breakfast style inn near Boston University.
Gryphon House is a bed-and-breakfast style inn at 9 Bay State Road in the Fenway and Kenmore area of Boston, Massachusetts, on a tree-lined street beside the Boston University campus. Fenway Park, Kenmore Square and the Charles River are a short walk away, and Kenmore station on the Green Line gives access to Copley Square and downtown.
The inn occupies a historic townhouse, and the interiors favour a boutique, individually styled look with a quieter, residential feel rather than a large-hotel atmosphere. Rooms are offered as standard rooms and suites, with room rates in the range of roughly $220 to $420 per night. Suites are often larger and may include features such as sitting areas, making them popular with visitors on longer stays.
Breakfast is included in the rate, a valuable perk in Boston, and Wi-Fi is provided. The hotel's small scale means there is no large restaurant, but Kenmore Square and Commonwealth Avenue offer numerous bars, cafes and restaurants within walking distance. Guests can also reach the Charles River Esplanade for walks and views.
Service is personal and welcoming, characteristic of a small inn, and suits couples, parents visiting Boston University students and baseball fans. The location on Bay State Road provides a calm setting while remaining close to Fenway Park and the university. For visitors to Massachusetts' capital who prefer a homelike atmosphere to a corporate hotel, Gryphon House offers a charming alternative with included breakfast and convenient transit.
