Location
Beacon Hill is the old, aristocratic neighborhood in Boston. It is filled with red-brick
sidewalks, street lamps still lit by gas flames, hidden gardens and perfectly preserved
Victorian architecture. Charles Street itself is known for its antiques, boutiques and
romantic restaurants. It is also in the center of the city, with the Boston Common, the
Freedom Trail, Public Garden, Esplanade, Faneuil Hall, Museum of Science, Back Bay,
Newbury Street, the Theatre District, Chinatown and Downtown Crossing's classic shopping
district all within a 5-10 minute walk. A quick ride on the nearby subway will take you to
Harvard, MIT, Boston University, Boston College, the Museum of Fine Arts, the eclectic
Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, and the John F. Kennedy Library. We truly enjoy the best
location in the city!
A Brief History of 94 Charles Street
The Inn was originally built as a single family townhouse in 1860 by the Mount Vernon
Proprietors. The three men who composed this enterprise, James Mason, Harrison Otis Grey
and John Greenleaf, were successful neighborhood businessmen who thought the Back Bay area
was perfect for developing the homes of the next generations of Bostonians and used 94-96
Charles Street townhouses as “model homes”. Although originally conceived as a
four year project as a model home, the recession following the American Civil War slowed
sales and the Back Bay development took seven years to sell out. 94 Charles Street was
largely un-renovated over the next 140 years, until it was substantially re-invented
starting January 12, 1999 and completed January 15, 2000, maximizing the original detail
but completely upgrading its systems into a modern luxury nine room inn.

In-Room Amenities |
|
Each guest at the Inn is welcome to our Bed and Breakfast offering.
However, instead of offering a public dining table, we serve breakfast in each guest room.
The in-room breakfast has so many choices we call it "deluxe continental".
For dinner, your room has silverware and place settings should you decide to order-in for
a private evening. Or better yet, stroll the Charles Street neighborhood and enjoy dinner
out at some of Boston's finest restaurants.
