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 more than 20 lovely and well-equipped guestrooms and suites and some of the area’s best dining courtesy of Town Meeting Bistro (and its associated seasonal al fresco Culinary Garden and InnGLOO Wonderland setups).

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 (which is expecting multitudes of visitors in this 250th-anniversary year of the Battles of Lexington and Concord).

Our Head of the Class Getaway Package: Perfect for College Visits

Among our numerous special offers here at the Inn at Hastings Park, one’s tailor-made for families visiting prospective colleges: the Head of the Class Package. This offer combines luxurious overnight accommodations at the Inn with access to our Relais & Châteaux Volvo Test Drive Program, which gives you and your student a set of fine wheels for self-guided college touring.

Throw in continental breakfast and a $100 credit for your next stay at the Inn at Hastings Park, and it’s mighty hard to beat the Head of the Class Package! Book it today.
