About this item
The Omni Parker House — located at the junction of Tremont and School streets — is the oldest of Boston’s elegant inns and the longest continuously operating hotel in the United States. It was here where the brightest lights of America’s Golden Age of Literature — writers like Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, and Longfellow — regularly met for conversation and conviviality in the legendary nineteenth century Saturday Club. It was here where baseball greats like Babe Ruth and Ted Williams wined, dined, and unwound. And it was where generations of local and national politicians — including Ulysses S. Grant, James Michael Curley, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, and William Jefferson Clinton — assembled for private meetings, press conferences, and power breakfasts.
“Heaven, By Hotel Standards” takes readers through a historic Boston journey as seen through the eyes of the Omni Parker House and its many guests, dignitaries, authors, celebrities, and influential figures who have stayed at the property. From its famed employees like Ho Chi Minh and Malcolm “X” to the birthplace of the Parker House Rolls and the Boston Cream Pie, the book provides a comprehensive first-hand account of New England’s antiquity from the last 159 years.
