The hotel

Step back out the doors, and you’ll find yourself in Back Bay — one of Boston’s best areas for boutique shopping, eating and drinking. After a day of exploring, you’ll find a welcome retreat here, with a rooftop health club with views over the city, and spacious, comfy rooms to get some well-earned rest before heading back out again to explore in the morning.

We chose a Gold Floor room with its own concierge, breakfast and hors d’ouerves in the afternoon. The quality and quantity of food and drink was exceptional. The staff was helpful and friendly. The Fairmont is centrally located to many walking sites. Would definitely stay again.
