Hotels for Boston Celtics v Charlotte Hornets (Preseason)

Preseason basketball means starting lineups are still being sorted out, rotations run deep into the bench, and coaches are watching for effort more than results. Expect rookies and newcomers getting extended minutes to make their case, while veterans manage their workload ahead of the campaign proper. It's a low-stakes look at a team still finding its shape.

Home to the Celtics and Bruins, TD Garden sits above North Station in the heart of Boston, a leading arena for basketball, ice hockey and major concerts. The surrounding area, close to the North End's celebrated restaurants and the historic Freedom Trail, is thoroughly walkable. North Station's subway and commuter rail lines are directly below. Booking a room in central Boston lets you walk to the show, enjoy the North End's dining and return to your bed within minutes once it finishes.
