This hotel harkens back to days of elegant travel and sophisticated service. To my surprise I was "upgraded" to the Gold level which has a separate check in on the 4th floor. My room was VERY tastefully decorated, but as the hotel is quite old, the rooms are small. The bed was one of the most comfortable that I've ever... more

This is a nice hotel in a good location in the wonderful city of Boston. It is over-decorated in the public rooms to the extreme (which I happened to enjoy for the camp value) and the general appearance of the place is good. My room was very comfortable. Good quality linen on the bed, nice bathroom. Ipod dock. More comfortable... more

My husband and I stayed at this hotel in August when we went to a Red Sox game. I managed to get a really good rate on the property. The hotel is beautiful, but it's your typical "historic" aka old hotel. The decor was definitely not my thing (lots of mirrors, gold, floral prints, etc.). The rooms were okay in... more

Coming from Arizona, I loved the charm of this old hotel with its beautiful lobby full of carved gold moulding, big mirrored doors, and even the darling dog that greets you at the concierge! The room itself was rather small with a very small window that opened over the busy streets of Boston. However, it was clean and the bed... more

This was the second time at the Fairmont Copley Plaza and it confirmed to be the perfect hotel in Boston- we were on the Golden Floor -which is really a hotel in the hotel, cosy, with a great and helpful staff who do go out their way to help you out. They solved a minor problem in reservation, gave suggestions... more

I was a little apprehensive staying here after reading some of the reviews on Tripadvisor. I used Priceline to secure a room at a really good rate. To my surprise, the room was really nice and seemed to have been recently freshened. Everything was clean, well maintained, quiet and attractive. The room is a little small, and the bathroom even... more

The hotel staff knew my sister and I were checking in early. (Our flight arrived at 9 AM and the hotel check-in wasn't until 3 PM). Unfortunately, our room wasnt ready for us, but we never felt like we were put out in any way. The staff was incredibly nice, professional, and bent over backwards for us. The concierge gave... more

Extremely central, nice bar and restaurant with fantastic breakfast options. Only complaint I had was that I was charged 125 USD for an 8 min international phone call. But otherwise I would highly recommend this hotel more
