Rooms

Rooms have been renovated and include Wi-Fi, a mini-fridge and a flat-screen TV. As in most 1890s buildings, room sizes and layouts vary, and some rooms look out over the historic streetscape of Huntington Avenue.

A long history

Over more than 130 years the hotel has hosted generations of visitors to Copley Square, and the brick building still looks much as it did in the 1890s. The hotel's own history page tells the story of its decades on Huntington Avenue.

Getting around

Newbury Street's shops start two blocks north, the South End's restaurants are about ten minutes south, and the Green Line runs from Copley to Park Street and Government Center in a few stops.

Who it suits

The hotel suits travelers who prefer character over amenities: there is no pool or large gym, and the building's age shows in the uneven room sizes, but the location is as central as Back Bay gets. It is a good base for Marathon spectators, museum-goers heading to the MFA on the Green Line, and anyone shopping on Newbury Street.

Getting there

Copley station on the Green Line is a block away, and Back Bay station is about five minutes on foot. From Logan, a taxi or ride-share takes about 20 to 30 minutes.

Before you book

Valet parking is $65 a day plus tax, with in-and-out access. Pets are not allowed, though service animals are welcome. Rooms sell out early during Marathon weekend in April.
