About Skinny House

The Skinny House is one of Boston's quirkiest sights: a slender, wedge-shaped dwelling tucked into the North End, celebrated as the narrowest house in the city. Its fame comes from its shape rather than its size, and passers-by stop to photograph the facade and wonder how anyone lives inside. The house sits in Boston's oldest residential neighbourhood, a compact grid of Italian restaurants, pastry shops and the Old North Church, where the streets are best explored on foot. Visitors pair a look at the Skinny House with a wander through the North End's laneways, a slice of history and a strong espresso. Because the area is small, most people see it while already staying nearby, which is why hotels near Skinny House cluster within a few minutes' walk.

Tips for staying near Skinny House

  • Boston's downtown is compact and walkable, and the T makes it easy to explore without a car. If you are basing yourself in the North End for the Skinny House, you can leave the car behind and cover the neighbourhood on foot.
  • Parking in this part of the city can be challenging, and driving in via Interstate 90 or Interstate 93 brings traffic. Guests at the apartment-style hotels here should plan to arrive by taxi, ride-share or transit instead.
  • The North End is Boston's oldest residential neighbourhood and a small area with mostly boutique inns rather than large hotels. Book early if you want one of the 3- and 4-star apartments closest to the Skinny House, since they are limited in number.
  • Several hotels close to the landmark offer kitchens, so you can eat in or step out to the Italian restaurants and pastry shops nearby. This works well for groups and longer stays in the North End.
