The quintessential Boston hotel is offering guests the ultimate summertime escape with locally driven experiences and programming.
BOSTON, June 18, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Just in time for summer and the return of sun-kissed dog days, Hotel Commonwealth offers the ultimate Boston experience with new signature guest experiences and its prime location in the city's burgeoning Fenway-Kenmore Square entertainment district, steps away from Fenway Park, MGM Music Hall, and some of Boston's best dining. Many of the property's fan-favorite experiences and packages are achieved through its exclusive relationship with the Boston Red Sox and Red Sox Foundation and local nonprofit Community Rowing Inc.
The Official Hotel of the Boston Red Sox, Hotel Commonwealth, has debuted an exclusive experience for young baseball fans. The Honorary Bat Kids Experience grants children under the age of 13 a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch batting practice from the team's official dugout at Fenway Park, wave to the crowd and be recognized during that day's pregame ceremony. Proceeds from the sales of this experience will benefit the Red Sox Foundation, the official team charity of the Boston Red Sox and the largest pro sports team-affiliated charitable organization in America.
This new experience joins Hotel Commonwealth's other exclusive Red Sox packages, which offer perks such as front-row seats, signed baseball memorabilia, a personalized message on the scoreboard, in-seat personal visit from Wally or Tessie and matching team jerseys for the family. For the ultimate fan immersion, guests can stay in one of the hotel's signature baseball-themed suites, complete with rare memorabilia and views of Fenway Park. More information is available at hotelcommonwealth.com.
Guests visiting Hotel Commonwealth this summer will be greeted by the hotel's new ambassador, Beantown Betty, a 4.75-foot-high bright yellow cow statue adorned with original artwork by New England artist Eamon White. Beantown Betty offers insider tips and recommendations online and, in "real life," will host complimentary ice cream socials at Hotel Commonwealth throughout the summer.
Among Beantown Betty's favorite activities is Hotel Commonwealth's Community Rowing Experience, offering guests private rowing instruction and an iconic on-the-water adventure on the Charles River led by professional coaches, as well as enjoying summer concerts and comedy shows at nearby MGM Music Hall and Fenway Park.
