What is a nice hotel in Boston for the history buff?

My husband and I are planning a trip to Boston, but the hotel choices are getting overwhelming. We'd like a nice hotel; price isn't that important, but we're not looking for $500 a night either. The main reason we've chosen Boston for a vacation is we would love to explore the history of the city. Is there a good hotel sort of central to some of the more famous spots? A hotel like this with some juicy history of it's own would be a plus! We'd be thrilled with some advice from seasoned Boston tourists or residents!

1. well go to www.mbta.com it is the subway in boston. I dont know of a historic hotel but check www.tripadvisor.com Boston Harbor Hotel is great as well as the Downtown Double Tree boston harbor is more in the center of the city but it is a bit pricey.
2. Not sure of the prices since they vary so much, but here's some historic hotel options. Liberty Hotel -- used to be a jail, just opened. Parker House -- home of the Saturday Club (Longfellow and Thoreau), invented Parker House rolls and Boston Cream Pie. On the Freedom Trail and right in the middle of everything. Langham Hotel -- great NC Wyeth murals, used to be the Federal Reserve Bank. Jurys Boston -- used to be Police Headquarters Some other historic hotels: http://www.historichotels.org/bostonhotels
3. Hotels are for sleeping it's not a museum.
