Omni Parker House Hotel

Located in the heart of Boston, the Omni Parker House Hotel is steps away from the Freedom Trail, next door to King’s Chapel and just down the street from the Park Street Church. Renovations of this treasured hotel will be completed by summer 2025.

Founded in 1855 by Harvey D. Parker, the Parker House Hotel is the longest continuously operating hotel in the United States. Previous guests include Charles Dickens, Mark Twain, Babe Ruth, James Dean, Judy Garland, President John F. Kennedy (who announced his senate candidacy and proposed to Jacqueline Bouvier in the Parker House Hotel), and many more.

In addition to an impressive guest list, the kitchen at the Parker House Hotel created the legendary Parker House rolls and Boston Cream Pie.


We eagerly anticipate hosting you to the historic and luxurious Omni Parker House Hotel!
