Chandler Inn

If you fancy staying in Boston's hippest residential neighbourhood, book a room at this gay-friendly South End guesthouse. Guest rooms have ensuite bathrooms and are equipped with all mod cons: satellite TV, voicemail and complimentary wireless internet access. Several have been revamped as 'deluxe' rooms with boutique-style design and amenities, including plasma TVs, iPod docking and marble bathrooms with walk-in showers. Complimentary coffee and tea are offered throughout the day in the lobby. The Fritz Lounge sports bar, located on the ground floor, can be noisy at weekends; non-party people are advised to request a room on the upper floors.
