Exploring Historic Boston via Day Stays

Sports Passion Meets Success

Between several dominant Boston Celtics dynasties and the Red Sox’s storied Fenway Park to the New England Patriots’ run as one of the most successful teams in NFL history and even the recent resurgence of the Bruins as a NHL contender, Boston is one of the few sports cities where rabid passion actually meets success.

Green in More Ways Than One

Yes, there’s the Celtics and the patented green that makes up the Green Monster, but Boston’s also one of the greenest cities in the U.S. from a sustainability perspective. The city reduced green emissions by 17 percent since 2005 and is on track to reach 25 percent reduction by 2022. Between 2004-2013, there were only four days of poor air quality, per the EPA.

Dense and Diverse

Boston is the third most densely populated city in the U.S. and isn’t just full of those lucky Irish! Boston is home to large Latino, African-American and Asian-American populations, in addition to growing Caribbean and West-Indian groups. Boston also boasts the fifth-largest LGBT population percentage in the country.

Oozing History

It’s no secret that Boston is synonymous with America’s history and it’s felt everywhere you turn in the city — from the nation’s oldest park, fire station and lighthouse to the first library, subway system and even chocolate factory. Walk around and see if you can spot the streets that used to be cow paths from the ones that are just small!
