Need advice on a great hotel

Will sincerely appreciate any advice as to whether it would be a good idea to stay at the Intercontinential Hotel if we are going to a Red Sox%26#39;s game. I%26#39;m not certai about the transportation issue, if we could get a taxi or take the subway. I understand it is about 2.5 miles from Fenway Park. Thank you so much for any and all help

Hi, Mom,

Taking the subway to Fenway Park is fairly easy. Just walk south on Atlantic Avenue (the street in front of the hotel) for maybe 5 minutes to South Station and take the Red Line T going inbound/Alewife. Ride 2 stops to Park St. and change to any outbound Green Line train EXCEPT THE ';E.'; Get off at Kenmore Station and follow the crowds! I estimate the trip will take 30-40 minutes door to door.

You can certainly get a taxi in front of the hotel. The trip to Fenway would probably take less time but, of course, cost more.

You can familiarize yourself with the route by looking at the subway maps posted in all the stations. The T system is very easy to use.

My only reservation about taking the T to the game is that the Green Line will be crowded, but for lots of people that is part of the

excitement.

Have a great time,

Steve

Confused Mom hopefully you%26#39;ll be ';enlightenedMom'; after some good replies to this post. No, the Intercontinental isn%26#39;t a great hotel if you%26#39;re going to a Sox game. Bostonian_in_Exile gave you spot on instructions as to how to get to the game via the T, but why not opt for a hotel a litle closer--maybe within walking distance. I vote for The Hotel Commonwealth. It%26#39;s located right in Kenmore Square, a short 3 minute walk to Fenway Park. There%26#39;s also a Green Line T stop (Kenmore) right outside the hotel if you want to navigate the city for the rest of the trip. visit mbta.com for all public transportation info.

Hi,

If your main criterion is getting to Fenway easily, then I%26#39;d second a vote for the Hotel Commonwealth. It%26#39;s a very nice hotel, on a par with the Inter Continential, and it%26#39;s in Kenmore Sq., about a 5 minute walk from Fenway.

Other options which would be easier for getting to Fenway:

Colonnade Hotel, Back Bay Sheraton, Back Bay Hilton, Eliot Hotel, Omni Parker House, Westin or Marriott at Copley Place. All of these hotels are either a decent walking distance from Fenway, or are on the Green Line, so you can get directly to the park without taking taxis or changing trains.

Check out the Omni Parker House they have Baseball Packages with Tickets

Intercontinential is THE best hotel in boston, very hip! anywhere is close when the ';t'; (subway) is close by, and u are right there if u stay there
