Wyndham Boston Chelsea

Watch the Red Sox play – or see golden fall foliage.

There are so many things to do and see here in New England that we hope you'll be our guest at the Wyndham Boston Chelsea Hotel again and again. Historic Boston is so rich with things to do that there are too many options to mention them all. But the good news is, since our property is just three miles from downtown, you're closer to many destinations than most of Boston itself. In the area you'll find so many fascinating choices related to our nation's great history. Take time to see the Bunker Hill Monument, the 221-foot obelisk commemorating the first major battle of the American Revolution. Or take a trip to Salem and see a crafty bit of our country's past. In the fall, the whole area is ablaze with color, as the leaves turn. It's absolutely breathtaking – and not to be missed. Sports lovers will want to see the Red Sox, Bruins, Patriots or Celtics play. With history, sports, the arts, and more, Boston and the New England area truly have something to suit every taste.
