Last fall, my husband and I had to travel to Boston for emergency medical care for our little dachshund, Dixie. Our friends at LuxuryPaw.com and XV Beacon were over the top and made a difficult time as comfortable possible. Janine Francheschi at LuxuryPaw.com immediately recommended XV Beacon and put us in touch with Amy, the GM. She was able to... More

How can you not love a hotel with a fireplace in your suite? A modern and elegant bathroom? A four poster bed with silken soft linens? Room service to now your socks off? Service that sets a standard. And you have Moo on the first floor. I love this hotel.

Located on Beacon Street about 2 blocks from the Boston Common. It is also at the edge of the Beacon Hill and Financial District areas. Everything is walkable from here. We had a Beacon Suite and it was nicely decorated and comfortable with two club chairs, a gas fireplace, and a King size bed. The room had windows looking down... More

Very good location easy access to all sites in city. Hotel staff great, make use of hotel cars saves on taxis.Moo restaurant in hotel brilliant although not the cheapest but you get what you pay for as they say. Hotel rooms a little on the dark side more lighting might be useful but not too much else to complain about.

This is a charming property strategically located on Beacon Hill near the T, many great restaurants, and Faneuil Hall. Given the amount of money we spent on these accommodations, I feel that the door staff was rather inattentive: they seemed to be inside texting and yakking, or outside looking in the opposite direction. It's not that I'm such a frail-flower,... More

While it isn't a deal breaker the digital security seemed amateurish for a property so near MIT. The facade was getting a face-lift so there was scaffolding around the front door. That may be the reason only a couple... More

After combing through reviews and traveler photos of XV Beacon it reminded me of NYC's, Surrey hotel so I was compelled to book a room to see if it measured up. The lobby while small, was chic with a fireplace, sitting area and concierge readily available to help with any request. Steven checked me in and his professional but unpretentious... More

Lots of room details in other reviews, so I won't repeat here. Briefly, the more expensive corner rooms are especially spacious with large windows on 2 walls. Even numbered rooms face the street and have a bit more light. Rooms ending in '06 (e.g., 706) are the desirable corner rooms. Location is perfect for walking and only a block from... More

My wfe and I stayed 4 nights here and were blown away this hotel. The staff are fantastic and make you feel at home. Staying here is like staying with a good friend. The location is fantastic, just down from the Capital building and Boston Commons and so central that everything is within walking distance. Anyone staying here will not... More
