Boston, United States
6.1COSY

The restaurant at The Winthrop Arms wins consistent praise for its generous, well-priced cooking, from a celebrated chicken pot pie to Friday-night prime rib, whilst the rooms, though clean and charmingly old-fashioned in their dim bedside lighting and great-aunt-esque furnishings, come with practical shortcomings including no lift, no in-room phone, and an unstaffed front desk after hours that leaves guests rather on their own.
