The fact that you feel surrounded by pleasure is no coincidence: everything at Hotel Commonwealth is built around our 'of service' mentality, with pleasant and attentive employees anticipating 'the ask' and responding with near-invisible service. Begin your new life together as husband and wife in our historic Kenmore Square hotel, which overlooks Boston University and is just minutes from Fenway Park. More than 12,500 square feet of event space, including an outdoor terrace, is available for your Big Day, with everything from bridal luncheons to rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions, and more. Alumni of Boston University will enjoy photo opportunities at their alma university, while others may love neighboring historic settings like Fenway Park and the scenic Charles River. We start with a simple assumption at Hotel Commonwealth. We take signals from each visitor to help define how we may be uniquely 'of service' to them — it's a guest-changing mindset that doesn't exist in a manual, but rather in our brand's DNA. Unscripted friendliness is evident in everything we do on a daily basis. It enables our workers to give unrivaled, genuine service. Hotel Commonwealth has also won the distinction of being Boston's most popular hotel on TripAdvisor for three years in a row. The heart and spirit of this dynamic metropolitan hub is Kenmore Square, where Hotel Commonwealth is located. Kenmore Square is the ultimate all-access point for the plethora of urban experiences that make up Boston, since it is located at the intersection (both physically and figuratively) of the best of Boston's academic, business, and entertainment neighborhoods. The nexus is the Hotel Commonwealth. Our hotel is part neighborhood hub — the place to meet, greet, and eat in Kenmore Square – and part entryway to anyplace a city day might take you. It's no surprise that the Hotel Commonwealth is a popular choice among seasoned Boston visitors.
