Hotels for Teddy Swims: The UGLY Tour

Expect a night built around a voice that's earned comparisons to classic soul singers while pulling in a pop-sized crowd. The songs deal in heartbreak and self-destruction dressed up as radio hits, so the room tends to sing every word back rather than just bounce along. Fans travelling for this one skew a bit older than the typical arena pop show, drawn by the songwriting as much as the spectacle.

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.
