For the green thumbs: The Newbury Boston in Boston

THE NEWBURY BOSTON/FACEBOOK

The Newbury Boston’s front yard is the Boston Public Garden, the first public botanical garden in the U.S., so it’s a particularly lovely place to stay in the spring when tulips, pansies and cherry trees are in full bloom. The hotel’s “Spring Escape” package treats mom to the most elegant of escapes. Not only do package guests get an overnight stay with breakfast for two at Contessa, The Newbury’s rooftop restaurant with a glass-enclosed terrace, mom will be presented with a seasonal bouquet from Winston Flowers — the family-run florist got its start on Newbury Street in the 1940s — and a Veuve Clicquot basket tote complete with a bottle of citrusy Yellow Label Veuve Clicquot to toast with. Art-loving moms should take time to peruse the hotel’s own on-site collection and visit the Museum of Fine Arts nearby.

Package rates begin at $975 per night.
