“Now this is a Ritz through and through”

Reviewed 1 week ago via mobile

It is not often that one can use perfect or flawless in a review. I generally will speak very candidly of a property - the great, the acceptable and the areas that could use some attention. Boston is the best Ritz we have ever visited. As a regular user of the properties, this place is hands down the most proficient... More

“Underwhelming”

Reviewed 1 week ago

While the small lobby and bar are nicely appointed, the room decor is reminiscent of an inexpensive "chain" property. Having stayed at the hotel many years ago, while their other, original Ritz in the US was undergoing renovations (and is, unfortunately, no longer a Ritz Carlton) I recall the decor of the rooms and the service being much more upscale....

“A fine location in the city.”

Stayed a weekend here in mid-August 2016 with wife & two children (teens). A well appointed Ritz, conveniently located near Boston Common. Very well located for historical walking tours of the city, shopping at downtown crossings, and is in walking distance to Fanueil Hall. Would have liked to see a commissary of some kind for last minute items, but staff... More

“Way below our expectations, and underwhelming ”

I used very hard earned Marriott loyalty points for a single nights stay to celebrate a family member's birthday. The Ritz required 60,000 points per room, per night. With such a premium amount of points, or cost per night, you have grand expectations of a transporting Ritz experience. Naturally we chose this Ritz due to its convenient location, positive reviews,... More

I've been to several Ritz hotels in the past and have loved them all - Boston is no exception. Unparalleled customer service coupled with fine amenities. It's 100% adulting.
