This DoubleTree occupies the former Don Bosco Technical High School building on Washington Street, across from Tufts Medical Center in Boston's Theater District. Guests get the brand's warm chocolate chip cookie at check-in and access to the adjacent Wang YMCA, which uses the old school's gym and pool. Wisteria Restaurant and Bar serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and room service, and the Tufts Medical Center Orange Line stop is a short walk away.
General stay guidance
Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.
Rates swing with the calendar
Midweek nights and shoulder-season dates are usually the kindest on price.
Read what is included
Parking, resort fees, and breakfast are the three extras that most often land on the final bill.
Ask at booking, not at the desk
Early check-in, late checkout, and room preferences go further when you request them in advance.
