Top Back Bay East Hotel Reviews

Encore Boston Harbor

8/10 Good

"Only thing i wish they had was seating in the lobby area"

Fairmont Copley Plaza, Boston

10/10 Excellent

"This is one of the most gorgeous hotels that we have stayed at. This is a stunning property! Immediately entering the hotel, we felt like superstars. The staffs are amazing. Gilbert in the concierge lounge is a sweetheart! He’s so hardworking, kind, and happy to help with anything! The Oak Long Bar & Kitchen has a fun and elegant vibe with delicious food! We would stay at the Fairmont Copley over any other luxury hotels in Boston!"

Hyatt Regency Boston/Cambridge

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean and maintained through our stay (we forgot to place a “no clean” midway through our stay). Restaurant staff and bartenders were very nice and attentive (shout out Thomas and Mina). Was unaware of the airport shuttle so for future guests, let that be part of welcome/check in script! Could’ve saved on the uber to airport and would’ve had an even better experience with y’all. Such a great location and access to walk city and into Fenway. Would stay again!"
