The NFL’s New England Patriots have a truly New England home: They play at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, located about 20 miles from both Boston and Providence, Rhode Island. While staying near Gillette for either a game or a big-name concert means you’re not in the a big city, you will be near the shopping and dining complex called Patriot Place right outside the stadium, which offers plenty of ways to fill out a game day or concert evening. Here are the best hotels near Gillette, a few within walking distance and a few more within a short drive or shuttle ride.
