We just returned from five nights at the Fairmont Copley Plaza. The location is just wonderful - by Trinity Church, the Boston Public, Library, Fenway Park, the original Cheers bar, and the shopping conencted by the Prudential skywalk. There is something for everyone. The hotel lobby is amazing - opulent and untouched since 1912 construction according to hotel staff. The... more

We booked this room on priceline for $129. The listed price on Fairmont.com was $260+ a night. $129 was not bad for a great location as it is across the street from to Copley Place and the Prudential Center. Parking in the area is an experience. We arrived late on a Saturday, so I was able to park on the... more

It is still one of the grand dames of Boston and the hotel's Gold Floor offers incredible, personalized service as well as great food and drinks all day long. The location is perfect -- within walking distance of the Copley Plaza Mall and still within easy reach of Newbury Street. more

I went to Boston on a college tour and the location was excellent. It is convenient to the metro, two blocks from the train station, and within walking distance from Quincy Market. Couldn't be better. Hotel is traditional. Service is very good. Only downside is fitness room. They should upgrade their equipment. more

Normally, I would not stay at hotel this ridiculously expensive ($350+taxes) but since it was for work, everything else was booked, and the boss pre-approved the expense there I was checking into one of the nicest hotels in Boston. The hotel is gorgeous, rooms spotless and elegant without being overly gaudy. Lobby had plenty of seating for quick meetings or... more

My husband and I stayed at the Fairmont Copley Plaza for the final part of our honeymoon. When we arrived we were blown away with the amazingly beautiful lobby - if you choose not to stay here, it's worth a trip inside just to see it!! Catie, the hotels own black lab is a lovely addition to the hotel and... more

I stayed at this hotel for a week with my boyfriend and could not possibly find a fault to report. The location right in the centre and between Trinity Church and the Central Library, cannot be improved. I believe we had a signature room which was nicely decorated and really spacious. We were originally given a larger room with a... more

Had the pleasure of staying at the Copley for 1 night on Saturday March 8 while attending a convention at the hotel. We reserved one of their ‘hotel within a hotel’ ‘Gold Signature’ rooms and highly recommend this added indulgence. After checking several web sites, we found the hotels own web site actually offered the best nightly rate for the... more

Stayed at the Fairmont on March 6-9. Loved it. Super attentive and friendly staff. Quick, painless check-in. Great location in Copley Square area - one block from Mass T, across street from Boston Public Library and Copley Square mall. Best bar for drinks. We'll stay there again! more

Lovely hotel, but unfortunately our stay was marred by a theft. Our daughters purse was taken from the Oak Room even though we were the last customers to leave that night, so another patron didn't take it. The purse was gone in the morning. There are security cameras all around; but they don't bother to use them for security reasons... more
