I don’t know about you but the months between December and March tend to be a barren guest zone for me. Suddenly, the appeal of Boston is completely lost on my friends and family. There’s not much I can do to convince them to visit me in zero degree weather.

But now, there may finally be an incentive for those long-lost friends to hop on a plane and visit. Or, for you to take a little staycation yourself right here in the Hub – because the first-ever Hotel Week Boston will be taking place this February 16 through the 23rd.

During the week-long Hotel Week Boston, multiple Boston hotels will be offering deals, discounts and packages. And according to the website, Hotel Week Boston “guests will also have access to exclusive deals at cultural organizations throughout the city, such as two-for-one admission at Zoo New England and the ICA/Boston; discounted tickets at Disney on Ice and the Jose Mateo Ballet.”

There are numerous Boston hotels that plan to participate including: the Boston Harbor Hotel, The Boxer Hotel, The Charles Hotel, Four Seasons Hotel Boston, Hotel Commonwealth and many more. The deals are all different but include discounts such as free valet parking, 30% off the best available rate, complimentary upgrades and more.

So, tell your friends and make reservations now.
