Ralph Waldo Emerson Dressed Up

Entering our 9th year in business, we are making some upgrades to our beautiful Inn. The Ralph Waldo Emerson room(1B) is our recent project. New soft rose velvet drapes have been hung framing the windows from ceiling to floor, and a new headboard, tester, and bedlinens warm up this lush room and make it more elegant at the same time. The rose drapes make the room seem even larger and echo the rose Italian marble surrounding the fireplace and gracing the top of the fireside cocktail table. More refreshing looks are planned for 2008 to add to the enjoyment of our guests, and we are so happy to continue serving discerning guests seeking relaxed, warm and genuine hospitality.

Holiday Fun, Music, Theater

December is exhausting! Too many holiday parties, school/club/religious events, and too much shopping. Time out! Even a one night stay at The Charles Street Inn can help you regroup, reconnect and revitalize in order to enjoy this festive time of year. We had a delightful group of guests the night of the Holiday Stroll, December 6 with several taking in the fabulous Boston Pops concert, another thoroughly enjoying the new Tuscanno Restaurant nearby. One couple with four teen children had tickets for the Neil Young concert, but lost track of their 12 year old while Charles Street was abuzz with "strollers", carolers, and sleigh rides. We even notified the Boston Police, but his family caught up with young Tim in time to make the concert and a late dinner afterward. The Celtics are red hot, and we have had a number of visitors take in a game and dinner before or after. Many just choose a quiet dinner nearby at Bin26Enoteca, No. 9 Park or 75 Chestnut, then relax and catch up in front of the fire in their room. Sure, there are scores of concerts, large and small scale theater performances, and museum exhibits; but most people really need a break from the endless Holiday calendar of events.
