In 1829, the Tremont Hotel opened at the corner of Tremont and Beacon Streets. It had 170 rooms that rented for $2 a day and included four meals. In 1869 the Tremont also became the first hotel in the U.S. to install indoor plumbing. Notable guests were Davy Crockett and Charles Dickens. In 1895, the hotel was razed and replaced with an office building.
