July 4th in Boston: Free Third Night at Mandarin Oriental Hotel

Looking for a fun Fourth of July party? Boston is definitely one of the best places in the country to celebrate Independence Day. The city puts on quite a show on the banks of the Charles River, where folks flock to see the Boston Pops perform their annual Fireworks Spectacular. Bed down in luxury at one of the top addresses in Back Bay, just steps from the festivities, and get an extra night on the house. The Mandarin Oriental Hotel-- boasting amenity-stocked rooms that are the most spacious average room size in Boston-- is offering an "Extra Day Away" so guests can enjoy an extended July 4th celebration. Book a stay between June 23- July 5, 2011 and get one night of complimentary accommodation in conjunction with two or more consecutive paid nights of stay. (Minimum three-night required.) While you're there, make sure to check out the spa, if only to experience the sprawling wet areas. We're talking Quartz crystal steam rooms, vitality pools, experience showers, ice fountains and relaxation lounges... It's the only Forbes Five-Star awarded Spa in the entire state of Massachusetts!

3rd Night Free at the Taj Boston through May 15

Spring fever? Time to treat yourself to a long weekend break. The Taj Boston is rolling out the red carpet for those needing a little pick-me-up after a brutally long winter. The landmark hotel at Arlington and Newbury streets is doling out a third night free when you book two nights- with rates starting at $249 per night, valid through May 15, 2011, subject to availability. Spring in Boston means Sunday Champagne Brunch on The Roof, the return of the Swan Boats to the Public Garden, and the Red Sox to Fenway... There's no better time to enjoy the city.

Pssst. Mother's Day is Sunday, May 8... The hotel's famous brunch, served in the glassed-in aerie on the roof, is not-to-be-missed. Think chilled seafood, freshly-made sushi, artisan cheeses, a carving station, and more. Plus, moms will get special treats, too.
