Boston’s second Four Seasons hotel is unusual both for the town and the brand: set in a Henry Cobb skyscraper that was completed in 2019, the Four Seasons One Dalton Street is contemporary to the core.
“The spaces are imbued with a rich warmth – Despont's tack a conspicuous contrast with the tower's modern exterior – drawing particularly on the Richardsonian Romanesque style.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Christian Science Plaza sits just outside the doors, and the shops along Newbury Street are a short walk away.
The rooms
Rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, and corner suites position freestanding soaking tubs against views of the Christian Science Plaza.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The curved 64-foot indoor lap pool is lined with daybeds and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city.
The spa
Treatment suites host GROUND Wellbeing rituals, and steam rooms join relaxation lounges set against floral tile mosaics.
Dogs stay too.
Bar
Zuma Boston
Chefs work behind an open robata grill, and bartenders serve sake cocktails across a live-edge timber counter.
The lobby, with floor-to-ceiling windows, is serene. A mosaic by Duke Riley covers every inch of space behind the mahogany check-in desk.
At the table
Trifecta serves craft cocktails beside an illuminated back bar and hosts weekend afternoon tea across multiple seatings.
How it began
Behind reception, an intricate mosaic by Duke Riley depicts Boston's historic 1919 Great Molasses Flood.
“This 61-story Back Bay skyscraper—one of the tallest towers in the city—has proven to be our favorite.”
