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

We just returned from five nights at the Fairmont Copley Plaza. The location is just wonderful - by Trinity Church, the Boston Public, Library, Fenway Park, the original Cheers bar, and the shopping conencted by the Prudential skywalk. There is something for everyone. The hotel lobby is amazing - opulent and untouched since 1912 construction according to hotel staff. The... more

We booked this room on priceline for $129. The listed price on Fairmont.com was $260+ a night. $129 was not bad for a great location as it is across the street from to Copley Place and the Prudential Center. Parking in the area is an experience. We arrived late on a Saturday, so I was able to park on the... more

It is still one of the grand dames of Boston and the hotel's Gold Floor offers incredible, personalized service as well as great food and drinks all day long. The location is perfect -- within walking distance of the Copley Plaza Mall and still within easy reach of Newbury Street. more

I went to Boston on a college tour and the location was excellent. It is convenient to the metro, two blocks from the train station, and within walking distance from Quincy Market. Couldn't be better. Hotel is traditional. Service is very good. Only downside is fitness room. They should upgrade their equipment. more
