Hotels.com Details Why Boston Travel Is a Must

Breaking down their travel Boston hotel and weather infographic

The experts at Hotels.com are dedicated to helping people plan the perfect vacation, whether it’s a week-long getaway or a quick weekend trip. With that in mind, they have recently created a series of travel infographics that detail the specific places of interest of popular American cities.

Boston is the most recent city to get this treatment. Hotels.com has compiled extensive travel industry research to find out how many visitors come to Boston every year, when the most popular month is for travelers, and what to expect weather-wise. The company also put together a list of reasons to visit the city that highlights some of Boston’s most popular attractions.

Pulling details from its own database about average hotel prices in Boston, Hotels.com reports that one-star hotels typically go for about $108 a night while, on the other end of the spectrum, five-star hotels can be had for about $466 a night. Of course, these average rates vary according to the season, and often hotel prices can be had for cheaper if booked far enough in advance. Hotels.com can help visitors get the best rates and the best value by offering side-by-side comparisons of specific hotel choices.

Hotels.com has also compiled a list of visitors’ origination cities—that is, the cities where the most visitors to Boston hotels are coming from. Unsurprisingly, this list includes cites on the East Coast like New York and New Haven, but it also includes some cities that are a bit farther away like San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Every year, Boston plays host to more than 21 million visitors, many of whom visit the city’s famous historical and cultural sites. Boston’s Freedom Trail is a 2.5 mile walk among some of the most important areas in the history of the United States, including Beacon Hill and John Hancock’s home.

For those planning a trip to Boston or any other city in the United States or around the world, Hotels.com makes it easy to find affordable accommodations. The company offers exclusive deals and special discounts through its partnerships with some top-rated hotels.
