*** This lot now closed for bidding ***

This is the city of Boston, Mass.: famous for Kennedys, the Red Sox, the Boston Pops, fantastic seafood, ivy league universities, and of course ‘Cheers’ (but then again, you’re far too young to remember that particular television programme!)

The charming city of Boston is a favourite of those who know the United States and travel there often. Proud of its heritage and the important part it played in forming the nation, Boston has a sense of distinguished ease and sophistication about it. As a city, it has arrived.
You’ll be staying at the superbly restored Taj Boston. This famous 5-star hotel is the Grand Dame of the city; a hotel that first flung open her doors in 1927 and has been welcoming guests from around the world ever since ... And now it's your turn.

Taj Boston Deluxe Room

A luxurious deluxe room will be your home away from home furnished in rich fabrics, deep carpets and polished antiques (not forgetting all those high-tech amenities that we cannot seem to do without). From the window you will take in the view over Newbury Street and the stunning Public Gardens beyond.
Slip on your shoes - freshly polished outside the door (all part of the service) and make your way to the famous Café - a bustling hub of Boston life for over fifty years.

Taj Hotel Boston - Lounge

Or take those highly polished feet of yours and explore everything from the mix of Newbury Street boutiques (think of those glorious American outlet centres), Art Galleries (the Monets in the Museum of Fine Art are exceptional), the famous Science Museum, ... or something more al fresco ...
Perhaps a morning in the magnificent Public Gardens - the oldest botanics in America - followed by an afternoon at Fenway Park - legendary home of the Boston Red Sox.

Wonderful restaurants and bars abound as does a fascinating history of an early America, not forgetting the odd witch trial in nearby Salem.

Taj Hotel Boston - Lobby

Then slip back to the sumptuous Taj Boston for a well-earned drink in the bar - a bar that has been mixing Martinis and classic cocktails like the Ritz Fizz since the day Prohibition left town.

Bid now for four fabulous nights in this sophisticated city...
