Mariners House underwent a complete renovation in 1999, adding modern amenities, elegantly-appointed common areas and four floors of unique guest rooms.
The common areas of the inn have been restored to their original state, combining nautical artifacts and authentic antique furniture with the modern necessity of a public computer with Internet access. Three full meals are served daily in the renovated cafeteria, and unique rooms, also furnished with antiques and all with private baths, start at $65 per night including a full breakfast.. Guests must produce proof of active maritime service in order to book a room.
Founded in 1847 by the Boston Port and Seamen's Aid Society, Mariners House was and remains a respite where seafarers and their families can find comfortable, affordable lodging and meals, professional guidance and religious counseling. In addition to the inn itself, Mariners House offers a breadth of services designed specifically to address the needs of professional mariners.
Located in the historic North End of Boston, the antiquity and charm of this registered Historic Landmark remains intact while completely refurbished rooms with private baths provide modern, comfortable accommodations at very reasonable rates. Three full meals are prepared every day, and shopping, entertainment and restaurants to suit every taste are available at nearby Faneuil Hall Marketplace, the Boston waterfront and the surrounding North End neighborhoods. Mariners House is located adjacent to the Paul Revere House on the famous Freedom Trail, and convenient to the waterfront, theatre and retail districts, as well as most of the union halls and the U.S. Coast Guard Regional Exam Center.
