Hotel Commonwealth
Urban luxury with a strong Boston identity — Red Sox memorabilia in the elevators, signature suites themed around local landmarks, and a neighborhood feel anchored by two real-deal restaurants open to the public. Smart and comfortable, not stuffy.
Book a Fenway King room for direct ballpark views — you don't need to spring for the full Fenway Park Suite to see the park
Why It Matters
The only official hotel of the Boston Red Sox, literally steps from Fenway Park's gate. Credited with sparking the urban revival of Kenmore Square when it opened in 2001. The Fenway Park Suite with Balcony includes actual Fenway dirt, Green Monster scoreboard signage, and a walk-out balcony 507 feet from home plate.
Hotel Commonwealth sits directly across Commonwealth Avenue from Fenway Park — close enough that Fenway King rooms stare right into the ballpark. Opened in 2001 and credited with kick-starting the whole Kenmore Square revival, it's the official hotel of the Boston Red Sox and the only one with that designation. The look is contemporary with a classic colonial exterior: bold chevron carpets, plush modern furniture, a lobby fireplace, and 245 rooms that run genuinely large by Boston standards. No pool, but the rooms and bathrooms are spacious enough that you won't miss one.

Curated in partnership with the Red Sox, it includes genuine Fenway dirt, the #6 from the Green Monster scoreboard (originally given to Johnny Pesky at retirement), a coffee table signed by Red Sox legends, and enough memorabilia to keep any baseball fan occupied.

Kenmore King
The entry-level king room, and still genuinely roomy at 470 sq ft — rare for Boston. One king bed with a custom upholstered headboard, Frette Italian linens, and a marble bathroom stocked with Malin+Goetz products. Views face Kenmore Square or Commonwealth Avenue rather than Fenway.

Two Queens · 44 sqmRathskeller Suite
Named for the legendary Kenmore Square venue, the Rathskeller Suite pays homage to the neighborhood's punk-rock and music history. Features a keyboard and lounge-style living area that leans into the neighborhood's musical past.
KingReading Suite
A cozy, residential-feeling suite with a dedicated reading nook — guests say it feels more like a well-appointed apartment than a hotel room. Quiet and comfortable, with a strong sense of place.
KingTerrier Suite
A nod to Boston University — the hotel's closest neighbor. Boston University's school colors show up in the accents, framed photos of notable BU alumni line the walls, and the whole thing has a vintage industrial edge. Great pick during BU move-in or graduation weekends.
KingThe Loft
A bi-level suite with a distinct loft layout and separate studio table area, offering a more residential, open-plan feel. Features a spacious living room and bathroom in a design that stands apart from the other signature suites.
