My family and I arrived early in the morning at about 10am. Most hotels these days won't let you check in early, the Fairmont was the exception. Lisa the front desk "trainee" noticed we had children in tow, she asked for my number and told us she would call as soon as a room was available. We went across the... more

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights -- our room although it had an ugly view of a courtyard was nice, clean and stylish. We really enjoy the location of this hotel given that it is easy to get pretty much anywhere from Copley Square. The lobby was a great meeting place for us and some of our friends... more

I travel to Boston fairly often for business and love the city. Normally I stay in the Financial District as it’s close to my office and the airport. For this trip, I decided to stay in the Back Bay for a change in venue and The Copley Plaza offered a decent rate ($325 for a “Fairmont” room) through our corporate... more

Boston has to be the coldest place I have ever been and the wind literally took my breath away! Hotel is in the perfect location to deal with the weather though. Just across the road you can go into another hotel (sorry forgotten the name) and from there you can work your way through hotels and shops all the way... more

Our stay was excellent here, we enjoyed the historic nature of the hotel. The bar was pricey, but it was quite a classic experience. The room was great, clean and spacious. We chose to dine nearby on Newbury street and did some shopping as well. The Charles river was only a few blocks away, which was a prime location for... more

My family enjoyed 4 lovely nights at the Fairmont on the Gold level. The room was nice and large and had great period details that really made the hotel and the room feel special. I would highly recommend the Gold level if possible. This added so much to our stay. We really felt that we could leave the room and... more

The hotel was fantastic! We had a private check in on the 4th floor, everybody was really friendly. The room was amazing! I felt like royalty! They had complimentary breakfast in the morning, and they said it was continental breakfast so we thought it was going to be a basket of muffins, but there was a huge spread, they had... more

Loved this hotel. It is as good as the Ritz in London. Only stayed two nights but will stay here again when we are in Boston. Beautiful hotel with nice rooms. We had a Fairmont Gold room, well worth the extra money. The food in the lounge was fantastic. They even allowed us to entertain our Boston family members who... more

Have stayed here a few times and always book the Gold Level. Upgraded rooms, excellent breakfast included. Beyond the normal offerings. Wonderful honor bar system with top wines and Champagnes. The beds on this level are top notch...I didn't want to get up in the morning! Rooms are average, bathrooms on the small side. Great location near Copley. The Westin... more
