We traveled to Boston having decided to leave our rural northern New York "covid bunker" and finally travel somewhere. We wanted to go somewhere within driving distance as we decided to invite our two adult children along. We chose Boston because we lived in the city many years ago. Having some familiarity with hotels in Boston, we chose location first and then searched for "deals"...which we knew there would be plenty. We struck gold with the Colonnade Hotel. Located across from the Prudential Center and in the Back bay as well as at a "T" stop, it was perfect. The staff was extremely friendly upon check-in and throughout our stay. The rooms were well appointed and very clean, spacious and comfortable. The continental breakfast, or "coffee and muffins" was fine first thing in the morning. We were disappointed "Lucie!" the restaurant was not open, but completely understood due to COVID. We took note of the number of pets staying at the hotel, for anyone wanting to travel with pets...they obviously accept pets and are very accommodating. We paid $145 per night in October- over the long weekend 10/10-10/12 and thoroughly enjoyed the city ..thanks to good weather and company! We would definitely recommend this hotel and will return in the future.

So well positioned and close to iconic places as well as transport , restaurants and shopping. A decent room size we had two double beds with a rollerway as an extra ( no charge) and we still had a reasonable amount of room. Comfortable beds/ pillows with the best linen ever! We had a lovely city view and no road noise . It was very tastefully renovated with great lounges/ breakfast area - seating luxurious and comfortable. The free breakfast was very adequate with a range of fruit , yogurt and breakfast eats. A restaurant is about to open. The staff were amazing from the moment you entered you were warmly greeted by Norman and welcomed professionally by the reception. Top marks to all staff including housekeeping. Nothing was too much trouble. They made it their job for you to feel special and remembered. I would definitely stay again and would highly recommend on every aspect.

My husband and I brought our adult son here for two nights this past week. My husband had never been to Boston and the getaway was an early birthday gift for our son. I selected the Colonnade because I got a great deal through TravelZoo—$199 per night plus discounted parking. What a fantastic location. The hotel is within walking distance to Newbury Street AND Fenway and the T is right outside the door. Check-in was facilitated by the lovely Samantha, who provided us with stellar front-desk service throughout our stay. Our room suited our requirements perfectly—two exquisitely comfortable queen beds with great linens and pillows, a spotless bathroom, a fridge, and sparkling windows that insulated us from the traffic noises six floors below. Minor housekeeping hiccups (no wastebaskets and not enough towels) were handled with courtesy and dispatch by Irene and she would continue to anticipate our every need. Kudos to her! Our only quibble with our room was the inconsistent climate control. Although we slept well, the temperature in our room fluctuated wildly during the night. I’m not a fan of Keurig machines, so rather than employ the one in our room, I took advantage of the complimentary coffee in the lobby each morning. Dan and Angelis were wonderful to chat with while I filled my cup. The lobby of the Colonnade is one of the nicest ones I have ever come across; actually, all the public areas were above reproach. We did not use the well-appointed gym but the sultry weather prompted us to avail ourselves of the rooftop pool. (Word to the wise: if you want to sit or recline, get there EARLY.) Sam and Melissa were charm personified. As a Mom, retired teacher, former Cub Scout leader AND a Virgo, I pride myself on being prepared for every travel contingency but I did not pack a toothbrush for our son (he moved out 14 years ago 😂) or an umbrella because the forecast did not call for rain. Front Desk Samantha gave our forgetful boy a toothbrush and on Tuesday evening, Jenna lent me an umbrella for the walk to Fenway. Thanks, Jenna! Everyone at the front desk, including the manager whose name I neglected to get, deserves a large bonus in their paychecks. And finally, I have enough men in my life but should my husband and son ever vanish, I would go back to Boston and kidnap Hicham and Norman. They are a real credit to the Colonnade. We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone traveling to Boston.
