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

We are always skeptical using priceline, especially in expensive Boston, but we were pleasantly surprised with the Fairmont Copley Plaza. The Fairmont is everything you want Boston to be, steeped in tradition, yet totally comfortable and inviting. The location is perfect, right next to Newbury Street, a multitude of shopping at Copley Plaza, and a short stroll to a toasty... more

After browsing the reviews here, we decided to book a Gold Signature room at the Fairmont Copley Plaza for our 5 night stay in Boston in mid December and we were certainly not disappointed. As we had a long flight from Australia to Boston, we decided to arrange for a car to meet us at the airport. I called the... more

I loved staying in this hotel. I was booked here purely by accident for the final night of a week-long business trip to Boston, and loved it. The service was top-notch, the room was plush, and the amenities left nothing to be desired. I would stay here again under any circumstances. I loved the room's decor and layout; the bathroom... more

On approach to this hotel i wasnt really impressed by the exterior . While fine it just didn't seem to live up to the pictures I'd seen on the hotel website. Well the old phrase, never judge a book by its cover was never more appropiate. On entering we were ushered in by tradionally uniformed doormen to a beautiful lobby... more
