Liberty Hotel -- used to be a jail, just opened. Parker House -- home of the Saturday Club (Longfellow and Thoreau), invented Parker House rolls and Boston Cream Pie. On the Freedom Trail and right in the middle of everything. Langham Hotel -- great NC Wyeth murals, used to be the Federal Reserve Bank. Jurys Boston -- used to be Police Headquarters Some other historic hotels: http://www.historichotels.org/bostonhotels Not sure of the prices since they vary so much, but here’s some historic hotel options.

Leidseplein seemed to be the area we spent most of our time in and you can easily catch the tram that runs between the trainstation and Leidseplein. Dress warm!! I'm jealous! I agree with the others.

Renaissance is in a busy traffic area, unless you want to travel by train outside Amsterdam, rhan the Renaissance is closer to the train station.

Plus, the Marriott breakfast is quite yummy. Both have good access to trams. The Marriott is quite close to the canal tour boats (if that interests you).

Tons of traffic. The Marriot's location is great, Leidseplein is an ideal location. I've seen that hotel from the outside often and dream of a day I could afford it. I'm sorry, I have to disagree with the answer above. Damrak, the street near the Renaissance, is simply awful. The Renaissance is in a really tacky area of fast food chains and annoying tourists.

The location is beautiful and close to stuff thats historic, and entertainment - the redlight district, the hard rock, lots of tours n stuff.

]]> Comment on What hotel in the Dominican Republic is walking distance from a town and not too far from an airport? by Alunia http://www.countryinnatberkeleysprings.com/travel/what-hotel-in-the-dominican-republic-is-walking-distance-from-a-town-and-not-too-far-from-an-airport/comment-page-1/#comment-14 Alunia Thu, 07 Jan 2010 17:54:12 +0000 http://www.countryinnatberkeleysprings.com/travel/what-hotel-in-the-dominican-republic-is-walking-distance-from-a-town-and-not-too-far-from-an-airport/#comment-14 I would check out www.naturacabana.com This is a nice Inn, that will give you some great luxuries, but still allow you're vacation to be simple, and you'll be able to experience culture. It's located right in between the towns of Sosua and Cabarete (about 8 minutes to each), and it's about 15 minutes from the airport in Puerto Plata. I personally like Cabarete, I live in the area, and it's really laid back. I think Sosua attracts more older people, and men. Although their beach is nice. That's why I reccomend this hotel, it's close to both towns so you'll be able to explore a bit more, it offers a great beach, and they are also able to plan excursions for you.
