Fodor's Expert Review XV Beacon
15 Beacon St., Boston, Massachusetts, 02108, USA Fodor's Choice
The 1903 Beau-Arts exterior of this intimate, luxury boutique hotel is a study in sophistication and elegance. Inside, dark chocolate mahogany sets the tone with bold splashes of red, brightened with recessed lighting and abstract art. Rooms—which, by the way, most are spacious—are done up in soothing, neutral shades, and each has a gas fireplace, cashmere throws for comfort, Frette linens and bathrobes, and heated towel racks in the bathroom. The 24-hour fitness center features state-of-the-art cardio machines. Property concierges have won prestigious Clefs d'Or honors. If your stay coincides Boston's July 4 celebration, make your way to the hotel's roof deck (open from May through October) for unparalleled fireworks viewing.
