Boston Travel Guide 2

Omni Parker House Hotel

The Omni Parker House Hotel in Boston boasts a rich and storied culinary history that has left mark on the city’s dining scene. Established in 1855, the hotel has been a culinary haven for Bostonians and visitors alike for over a century and a half. One of its most famous creations is the Boston Cream Pie, which was invented here in the 19th century by the hotel’s French chef. This delectable dessert has since become a quintessential Bostonian treat, featuring layers of sponge cake filled with custard and topped with a glossy chocolate glaze. It’s no exaggeration to say that the Boston Cream Pie has become an iconic symbol of the city and a must-try for anyone visiting Boston. Get my own version of this pie, click here for the recipe.

In addition to the Boston Cream Pie, the Omni Parker House has hosted countless luminaries, including Charles Dickens, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and John F. Kennedy – and you can hear all about them in the Instagram Reel I linked below. The hotel’s dining establishments, such as the Parker’s Restaurant, have been renowned for their commitment to fine dining and culinary innovation. With its rich history, iconic dishes, and a tradition of hosting influential figures, the Omni Parker House Hotel continues to be a cherished culinary landmark in the heart of Boston, celebrating both the city’s culinary heritage and its enduring commitment to excellence in hospitality. It’s a hotel that both my husband and I keep coming back to, for it’s hospitality and great service.

Another culinary addition that this hotel brought to us are The Parker House Rolls, originating during the 19th century, are famous for their accidental creation by the hotel’s baker, Malcolm Livingston. These buttery, soft rolls, characterized by their slightly crisp exterior and brushed with melted butter, have become an iconic symbol of Boston’s culinary heritage. The Omni Parker House’s commitment to culinary excellence has solidified the roll’s reputation, making it a cherished part of American dining culture and a must-try comfort food enjoyed across the United States. I’ve had them in restaurants everywhere from New York to Nashville.
