Hotels near Fenway Park

Opened in 1912, Fenway Park is the oldest ballpark still in use in Major League Baseball and the beloved home of the Boston Red Sox. Its quirks are legendary: the towering left-field wall known as the Green Monster, the lone red seat marking the longest home run ever hit there, and the hand-operated scoreboard.

Catching a Red Sox game here, with the crowd singing along to 'Sweet Caroline' in the eighth inning, is one of the great American sporting experiences. When there is no game, year-round guided tours take you onto the field, up to the Green Monster seats and through the park's century of history.

Pro Tip: Game tickets sell out fast, so book ahead, especially for summer weekends and games against the Yankees. No game during your visit? The daily ballpark tour is excellent and far easier to get into, with the best light for photos in the morning.
