Best Hotels for Families Visiting New England Colleges

Here at the Inn at Hastings Park, we love welcoming families for visits to colleges and universities in the region—of which, needless to say, there are a lot, among them some of the most prestigious in the world. 

Take advantage of our boutique luxury—the only Relais & Châteaux accommodations in the Greater Boston Area—as well as our super-convenient proximity to numerous centers of higher learning as you help your student plan a thrilling new chapter. 

The Inn at Hastings Park: Close to the Numerous New England Colleges & Universities 

Our historic boutique hotel puts your family within marvelously easy reach of a host of New England educational institutions. We’re fewer than 10 miles away, for example, from not only both Brandeis and Bentley universities in Waltham, Massachusetts but also Harvard University in Cambridge. M.I.T., Northeastern University, and Boston College, meanwhile, are all within 15 miles from the Inn. 

That nearness alone would recommend our Relais & Châteaux property, but then there’s the sheer quality of lodgings we provide, with 22 uniquely appointed guestrooms and suites across the Inn’s three buildings and exceptional dining courtesy of Town Meeting Bistro, along with seasonal experiences such as the Culinary Garden and InnGLOO Wonderland. 

And when you’re not out and nearby taking campus tours, you’ll find our Lexington, Massachusetts hotel close to plenty of other attractions, not least the Revolutionary War sites of Minute Man National Historical Park. 

Our Ivy Scholars Package: Perfect for College Visits 

Among our numerous special offers here at the Inn at Hastings Park, the Ivy Scholars Package is designed with college visits and academic milestones in mind. 

Whether your family is touring prospective schools, attending Family Weekend, or celebrating a recent graduate, the package includes luxury overnight accommodations, continental breakfast, and a $100 credit toward a future stay at the Inn. 

The experience also includes an exclusive private guided tour of Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and historic Cambridge, providing an insider’s perspective on the history, architecture, and academic culture that make the area such an extraordinary destination for students and their families. 

Explore the Ivy Scholars Package and make the Inn at Hastings Park your home base for an upcoming college visit.
