If you’re visiting Boston this winter, there are a few things you’ll need to be bring: warm clothes (scarves, hats and gloves), an umbrella, and a great attitude. When the leaves finally fall and the wind whips through the air, it can get quite chilly in Boston, but at XV Beacon we’re always serving up something warm. Come in for a winter warmer cocktail, or just lounge in your guest room by your private fireplace. If you feel like braving the outdoors, here are a few of our favorite activities:

Ice skating on Frog Pond: The city’s ice rinks open for the season in late November. Frog Pond, located in Boston Common and just steps from XV Beacon, is one of the most popular outdoor rinks in Boston. as the city’s rinks reopen for the season while golden foliage lingers overhead. Don’t worry about packing your skates – you can rent them at the rinks.

The air outside may be frigid, but inside TD Garden, the action on the ice and on the court heats up when the Boston Bruins and Celtics are in town for home games.  You can take the T straight to North Station and not even have to step outside as you make your way to the Garden to watch them play.  Our concierge can help with tickets and dinner reservations before the game by emailing them at Concierge@XVBeacon.com.
