Fairmont Copley Plaza

138 St James Ave, Boston, MA 02116, USA

From the first “woof” of welcome from the resident Canine Ambassador, guests feel a part of this storied hotel’s century-plus history. Located in the Back Bay, not far from Beacon Hill, Newberry Street, and the Freedom Trail, the landmarked Fairmont Copley Plaza houses 383 comfortable guest rooms, each featuring modern-elegant decor as well as signature pillow top mattresses, 46-inch TVs, and coffee makers. Snag a room on the Fairmont Gold concierge floor for extras like private check-in, complimentary Wi-Fi, and use of a snack-stocked lounge.

Sweeping views of the city can be enjoyed from the 3,000-square-foot rooftop gym (which is lined with floor-to-ceiling windows) and the sophisticated event spaces (which, decorated with chandeliers and ornate furnishings, are a top pick of Boston brides). The hotel’s convenient location makes it easy to sample the city’s great eats, but you’ll do well if you stay in, too, thanks to the handcrafted cocktails and farm-to-table dishes served at the on-site OAK Long Bar + Kitchen.

Welcoming guests since 1912, the Fairmont definitely has a wow factor! All the lavish rooms and suites were recently renovated adding a modern look to the history richly woven into the atmosphere. Centrally located, you’re within walking distance to many historic sites and boutique shopping on Newbury St. It might surprise you to know this grand dame of Boston hotels has two canine ambassadors. Black labs Catie and Carly {who have their own Facebook and Instagram pages} are available for companionship and walks during your stay, insuring if you’ve left your Fido behind, you’ll miss them a lot less!
