Beacon Hill Bistro

With an unbeatable Charles Street location and a truly intimate size, this newcomer is settling in quietly and with style. The 13 rooms are admittedly minuscule,but the brightly painted walls and textiles make them cozy. Details such as flat-screen televisions and fluffy down duvets also make them stylish. The gourmet breakfast (French toast with créme frâiche and strawberries) served in the hotel's bistro makes this a Beacon Hill find.
