Historic Omni Parker House
The Omni Parker House has been a timeless icon in the city of Boston since 1855, quickly becoming part of the city’s very fabric. In the 19th century it was a gathering place for literary geniuses such as Ralph Waldo Emerson and Charles Dickens.
In the 20th century, Irish-American politicians such as James M. Curley and John “Honey Fitz” Fitzgerald held their victory parties here. John F. Kennedy announced his candidacy for Senate here in 1946, and in 1953, JFK proposed to Jacqueline Bouvier at Table 40 in the Parker Restaurant. She said yes!
The stately beauty and genuine hospitality of the hotel staff are hallmarks of the Omni Parker House, and so is the distinguished Parker Restaurant, which is the birthplace of Boston Cream Pie and the Parker House Bread Roll. Today, visitors from afar dine in the Parker Restaurant just to get a taste of these legendary foods and to bask in the ambience of this majestic dining room.
Located in the historic heart of Boston, the Omni Parker House is just minutes from attractions such as Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Boston Common and stops on the Freedom Trail and the Irish Heritage Trail.
The hotel is undergoing a grand renovation to redefine opulence in the heart of the city, and the reimagined Omni Parker House debuts in 2025.
