Nice getaway!
. . . Boston’s Back Bay Hotel was making its own preparations for the storm: a special room rate for the first 50 people booking a room Friday night to help fill the hotel on a slow weekend when many won’t travel.
Normally this time of year, a room at the deluxe hotel — built in the former Boston Police headquarters at Berkeley and Stuart Streets — would go for $275 to $315 a night. But, hotel general manager Stephen Johnston said, for people taking advantage of the promotion, “The price that you pay will be the highest wind speed as recorded at Logan Airport.”
So, “if it gets up to 90 or 100 miles an hour, well, that obviously will be tough for the city, but it’ll still be good value for a hotel of this style,” because you’d get a room for just $90 or $100 a night, plus taxes and fees.
“They may just get a great deal out of it,” Johnston said, “especially if the storm doesn’t turn out to be too strong.”
