The Westin Waltham-Boston  

In Waltham's business district, this Boston‑area hotel sits roughly 15 miles from downtown Boston. You're minutes from Brandeis University and Bentley College and within easy reach of Fenway Park, the Museum of Fine Arts and Symphony Hall. A convenient base for both business travelers and weekend explorers — and yes, it's pet-friendly.

The property offers 351 updated guest rooms and suites with pillowtop beds and premium bedding. Rooms are air-conditioned and include flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms with shower/tub combinations, designer toiletries and bathrobes. The lobby lounge and an outdoor terrace keep the vibe modern and relaxed.
