The views over the Public Garden lend it a certain timelessness. At the same time, a thorough recent renovation has left the interiors looking as sharp as ever.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set directly along Boylston Street, the park's swan boats sit across the street, with Newbury Street boutiques just steps away.
The rooms
Whitewashed oak beds and replica Beacon Hill gold doorknobs pair with marble bathrooms looking across the Public Garden tree canopy.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The spa
The gym
Stationary bikes and treadmills flank a dedicated turf zone equipped with medicine balls and resistance bands.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Coterie
The brasserie serves French-influenced New England dishes and botanical cocktails sweetened with honey from the rooftop hives.
Grand spaces flow from one to the next not like a hotel but more like the elegant Gilded Age homes of neighboring Beacon Hill and Back Bay.
How it began
When the property opened in 1985, it marked the brand's first venture combining hotel rooms with full-time private residences.
