Welcome to Beacon Hill
Cobblestone streets and red brick homes fill Beacon Hill, one of the original Boston neighborhoods getting its name from a beacon that once stood atop the hill to warn locals of foreign invasion. Its architecture and layout are reflective of old colonial Boston, consisting of brick row houses with beautiful doors, decorative ironwork, brick sidewalks, narrow streets, and gas lamps. Beacon Hill borders Back Bay, The Boston Common, and The Public Garden. Residents of the neighborhood can shop and relax on Charles Street, Beacon Hill’s main commercial area with various small boutiques, restaurants, and cafes. It is also the home of the State House, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Louisburg Square.
Our Favorite Spots and Things To Do:
- Shop and stroll on Charles St and explore the many boutiques and shops.
- Grab a quick bite or warm pastry at Tatte.
- Visit The Paramount for a delicious brunch and a mimosa. Beware of the long line on Sundays!
- Try a sandwich or salad at Cobblestones on Charles St.
- Meet friends for a cocktail and dinner at 1928.
- Go to Scampo for dinner followed by Alibi for an after-dinner drink.
