In Literature and Film
Edith Wharton includes a private meeting between characters Mr. Newland Archer and Countess Ellen Olenska at the Parker House in her iconic work of the early 20th century, The Age of Innocence. Archer is told that the Countess Olenska is staying in Boston at the Parker House, and he flees New York to meet her there.
According to staff, Room 303, which is now a storage room, in the hotel was the inspiration for Stephen King's short story 1408 and its movie adaptation.
