Scene
Boston-themed budget hotel
The Revolution Hotel wants guests to go out and explore the city, and so the scene within the hotel is fairly quiet. Cosmica, the onsite restaurant and bar, livens up the property as locals and tourists stop in for margaritas on the pretty patio in warm weather.
Fun Boston-themed touches throughout the hotel lend a local vibe to the property, with photo-worthy murals and art depicting Boston inventions.
