Our Picks — Boston
Back Bay
Boston's most buzzed-about recent opening occupies the 1927 Ritz-Carlton building on Newbury Street, with rooms reimagined by Champalimaud Design that honor the Beaux-Arts bones while delivering contemporary luxury. The rooftop Contessa restaurant with views over the Public Garden is the finest new dining room the city has seen in years.
Back Bay
A modern luxury flagship on Boylston Street that pairs the Mandarin's legendary spa and service standards with a location steps from Copley Square and the Prudential Center. The 148 rooms balance Back Bay's residential elegance with contemporary Asian aesthetics, and Bar Boulud on the ground floor brings Daniel Boulud's French bistro classics to Boston.
Back Bay
The grande dame of Boston hotels — open since 1912 and still commanding Copley Square with Beaux-Arts majesty. The Oak Bar and Oak Room have hosted every US president since Taft, and the gilded ballroom remains Boston's most storied event space. Rooms are classically large for New England, and the location between Trinity Church and the Boston Public Library is unbeatable.
Back Bay
A discreet 95-suite Relais & Châteaux property at the corner of Commonwealth and Massachusetts Avenues, where old Boston money and the international academic community have taken quiet refuge since 1925. The Clio restaurant has been one of Boston's most respected tables for two decades, and the suites are remarkably spacious for the neighborhood.
Back Bay
An independently owned Back Bay landmark since 1900, the Lenox sits directly on the Marathon finish line on Boylston Street with a warmth and character that chain hotels struggle to match. Original working fireplaces in many rooms, an excellent on-site restaurant (City Table), and genuine pride in Boston identity set it apart.
Downtown / Beacon Hill
America's longest continuously operating hotel (since 1855), where the Boston Cream Pie was invented and Charles Dickens gave his first American reading of A Christmas Carol. The location on School Street is steps from the Freedom Trail, the State House, and Faneuil Hall — and the history embedded in every corridor is palpable.
