Four Seasons Hotel

Description:

• Many luxury hotels offer exquisite service, a beautiful location, elegant guest rooms and public areas, a terrific health club, and wonderful restaurants. No other hotel in Boston -- indeed, in New England -- combines every element as seamlessly as the Four Seasons. If I were traveling with someone else's credit cards, I'd head straight here. Overlooking the Public Garden, the 16-story brick-and-glass building (the hotel occupies eight floors) incorporates the traditional and the contemporary. The spacious accommodations feel more like stylish apartments than hotel rooms, with lots of plush fabrics, elaborate moldings, and marble bathrooms. The best units overlook the Public Garden; city views from the back of the hotel aren't as desirable but can be engaging, especially from the higher floors. The staff is famously accommodating to businesspeople, families, and celebrities. Larger accommodations range from executive suites with parlor areas to luxurious deluxe suites with sweeping views.

  Facilities: Restaurant (Aujourd'hui); bar (The Bristol); 44-ft. pool and Jacuzzi overlooking the Public Garden; newly renovated health club and spa; concierge; tour desk; limo to downtown; business center; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; rooms for those w/limited mobility.
