Frequently asked questions
What is the history of the Omni Parker House?
Opened in 1855, it's the longest continuously operating hotel in the United States. It's where Boston cream pie was invented, where Malcolm X and Ho Chi Minh once worked, and where JFK announced his Congressional candidacy.
Is the Omni Parker House on the Freedom Trail?
Yes — it's directly on the Freedom Trail route, steps from the Old Granary Burying Ground, Park Street Church, and Boston Common. It's the most historically situated hotel in the city.
Is Parker's Restaurant good?
Parker's is a classic Boston institution — the on-site restaurant is where Boston cream pie was first served. Worth a meal for the history alone, though the food holds up on its own merits.
