Three miles from Logan Airport you’ll find Hotel Indigo Boston Garden, which is also near North Station and TD Garden.

Grab a bite at the all-day Blake's Kitchen + Bar on the lobby level of the hotel. Here you can choose from shared plates like charcuterie, wings, or meatballs. There are also plenty of tasty paninis, sandwiches, and salads on the menu.

Just three miles from Boston, you’ll find the Kimpton Marlowe Hotel in the heart of Cambridge right on the Charles River.
