Restaurant
Grana
Set in the former grand banking hall beneath a suspended wire sculpture, Grana serves family-style Italian dishes.
The architectural features shine at this historic hotel, which was renovated in June 2021. You’ll see the 1922 bank’s terrazzo floors...
Bar
The Fed
This street-level cocktail pub serves craft drinks and elevated pub fare amid dark wood paneling and leather seating.
At the table
On the eighth floor overlooking the park, The Langham Club serves private breakfast spreads and evening cocktails.
How it began
Built in 1922 as the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, the landmark retains monumental Wyeth murals once deemed too large to move.
“The ground-floor cocktail bar and a separate cavernous Italian restaurant in the former bank’s grand hall, both located off picturesque Post Office Square, is usually full of busy Bostonians.”
