About

The Lenox Hotel has stood at the corner of Boylston and Exeter Streets since 1900, and it is run by the Saunders Hotel Group. Its 215 rooms and suites keep a traditional look, but what sets it apart is practical: corner rooms and suites with wood-burning fireplaces, no resort fee, and an Irish pub, a cocktail bar and a neighborhood restaurant on the ground floor.

It suits first-time visitors who want to walk to Newbury Street, the Boston Public Library and the Prudential Center, couples planning a winter weekend around a fire, and rail travelers. Copley station on the Green Line is half a block away, and Back Bay station, for Amtrak and the Commuter Rail, is one block away, so arriving by train needs no taxi.

Rooms and fireplaces

Rooms range from compact Classic rooms with a queen bed to the Back Bay Suite and the Penthouse Suites. The Executive Fireplace rooms are all corner rooms with views over the neighborhood, and the fireplace season runs through the colder months, so a February stay is when these rooms earn their price. The Judy Garland Suite remembers the singer, who lived at the Lenox in 1968.

Rooms on the 11th floor are kept pet-free for guests with allergies, connecting rooms can be requested, and cribs are free. Children stay free.

Marathon weekend and the location

Boylston Street is the final stretch of the Boston Marathon, which puts the hotel at the center of Marathon Monday in April. Expect it to fill early that weekend and plan around street closures. The rest of the year, the corner is a good base for walking: the hotel lists Beacon Hill at about a mile and Fenway at 0.9 miles.

Good to know

The fitness center is open 24 hours, but because of the building's age it can only be reached by stairs; guests with limited mobility are offered free passes to a nearby gym instead. Accessible Deluxe King rooms come with either a tub or a roll-in shower. Dogs are welcome, and the lobby serves coffee from Share Coffee Roasters.

Restaurants and bars

Three venues share the ground floor.

Willow & Ivy is the hotel's neighborhood restaurant, with a locally sourced menu at breakfast on weekdays, brunch on weekends and dinner every night. It can be entered from Exeter Street or through the lobby.

Sweeney's on Boylston is an Irish pub serving Irish classics and longtime Lenox favorites, open daily from late morning until 2 a.m.

The Irving is the intimate lobby cocktail bar, open from late afternoon (from noon on Saturdays) until 2 a.m. In-room dining runs around the clock.
