The Inn at Hastings Park

The Inn at Hastings Park sits in Lexington rather than central Boston, which is precisely what gives it character. The property is spread across three restored buildings close to Lexington Green, placing guests within walking distance of some of the most important sites from the opening of the American Revolution.

Only 22 rooms and suites are divided among the Main House, the 1841 Isaac Mulliken House, and a former barn. Historic architecture is paired with hand-printed wallpaper, upholstered furniture, marble bathrooms, and a colorful design approach that avoids the clichés of a colonial inn.

The Main House contains the restaurant and bar, making it the social center of the property. Town Meeting Bistro focuses on seasonal New England cooking, while culinary events, brunches, and special dinners reinforce the inn’s Relais & Châteaux credentials.

Rooms vary significantly because of the old buildings, but that individuality is part of the experience. Fireplaces, soaking tubs, private entrances, and generous suites appear in higher categories, while thoughtful refreshment amenities keep even smaller rooms comfortable.

This is an appealing alternative for travelers who want Boston access but would rather wake up in a historic New England town. The combination of Revolutionary history, residential scale, and destination-worthy food makes the inn feel like a proper getaway rather than a suburban hotel.
