About Verb Hotel
Verb Hotel in Fenway is unlike any other Boston hotel. The space feels plucked from a 1950s surfside retreat, with its hip and indie atmosphere. The hotel features incredible onsite dining at Hojoko—home of the 48-hour funky chicken ramen.
The space opened in 1959 as the Fenway Motor Hotel, evolving over the last six decades, while remaining true to its kindred spirit.
