European-style hotels are also sometimes called boutique hotels. Typically, they are original accommodations without the cookie-cutter, franchise feel properties owned by large hotel chains may offer. These types of properties aim to provide superior guest services but in some cases may not have the extra features American-style hotels are known for, such as lounges, swimming pools and business centers. Boston is home to a variety of European-style hotels for travelers of all tastes.
Boston's Chandler Inn Hotel has more than 50 guest rooms and is located in a building constructed in the early 1900s.
