    The Parker House Hotel claims that the Boston cream pie was invented in its restaurant by Augustine Francois Anezin in between 1865 and 1881.

    The Parker House Rolls! Not just for dinner - a nice treat for breakfast - included on their breakfast menu!

    Loved it even though we had small room and the view wasn't great. The hotel is beautiful and clean.

    Joy, the bartender in the upper bar is a treasure! Makes excellent drinks, we received super dinner recommendations and ask about her coaching career in basketball

    Steak is better than Ruth's Chris across the street. Seriously, try it. You can do a fixed 3 course dinner for $38, includes the Boston cream pie dessert

    150 years ago, the baker developed Parker House rolls and Boston Creme Pie. Dessert after lunch is a must.

    This is the oldest running hotel and it's supposedly haunted ;)

    Stuffy. Get a whole Boston cream pie for $45 instead of by the slice.

    Just a heads up: unlike everywhere else that serves boston cream pie, there is coconut on the outside crust of it. Very disappointing for someone allergic to coconut!
