Three Hotels, Three Generations, One Neighborhood

I was recently walking down Tremont St, across the Mass Pike, when I was struck by the view above. Three hotels, all within a block or two of each other, yet clearly from three generations of Boston’s development: the concrete Radisson, the glass W Hotel, and the brick Courtyad by Marriott.

These buildings speak to us about our city’s past as much as any brownstone, government building or office tower. You just need to look up every once in a while and appreciate the stories they tell.

    Thank you for this! As a Bostonian, I know I completely take for granted the architecture around me. How many times have I walked from the Copley T station to my office by Trinity Church without even looking up?
