Young's Hotel (1860–1927) in Boston, Massachusetts, was located on Court Street in the Financial District,[1] in a building designed by William Washburn. George Young established the business, later taken over by Joseph Reed Whipple and George G. Hall.[2] Guests at Young's included Mark Twain, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, William Lloyd Garrison, Charles Sumner, Rutherford B. Hayes, and numerous others.
This hotel, established in 1845 by George Young, still its proprietor, was “a small and cosey hostelry, hidden from the main thoroughfares by the tall buildings in front and on either side of it. It was famous for its good beds, its solid comforts, and its choice table ... and its patronage came chiefly from businessmen” (Edwin M. Bacon, 514–15; Boston Directory, 663, 775).
