Newbury Street in Boston, Massachusetts, is in the city's Back Bay National Historic District. Back Bay is noted for the four- and five-story 19th-century town houses that line its streets. These historic houses once belonged to Boston's gentry. The area is surrounded by the Boston Gardens on the east, the Charles River to the north and commercial districts to the south and west. Newbury Street itself is lined with these houses as well as outdoor cafes, art galleries, shops, restaurants, pubs and a few boutique hotels.
The Newbury Guest House is a boutique hotel made up of three town houses that together have 32 hotel rooms. There is a French brasserie, a designer boutique and a spa on-site. Some of the property's original 19th-century-medallion ceilings, fireplaces and staircases have been preserved. The hotel offers four types of rooms on the upper floors. All rooms include flat-screen televisions, DVD players, wireless Internet, refrigerators and lounge chairs. The hotel's luxury bay rooms are larger than the standard and deluxe rooms. Larger rooms contain padded benches, small tables and large bay windows overlooking historic Newbury street.
The Jewel of Newbury is a upscale boutique hotel on Newbury Street that was founded and designed by M. Sayeh. It is minutes from the Hynes Convention Center and popular attractions like Copley Square and the Boston Common. The hotel offers single rooms, double rooms and suites outfitted with Victorian decor and marble baths. Room rates include breakfast in the hotel's dining room. The Jewel's on-site restaurant claims to be the only one in Boston which specializes in North African cuisine. Menu items include roasted eggplant, grilled quail and a traditional Moroccan soup called Harira.
