The hotel

Dating back to 1912, the Fairmont Copley Plaza is a historic landmark in itself. Step through the grand front doors and prepared to be wowed by the beautifully elegant lobby. Step back out the doors, and you’ll find yourself in Back Bay — one of Boston’s best areas for boutique shopping, eating and drinking. After a day of exploring, you’ll find a welcome retreat here, with a rooftop health club with views over the city, and spacious, comfy rooms to get some well-earned rest before heading back out again to explore in the morning.

It was wonderful to host an event at the Fairmont! It was an incredible experience planning an event with Lyndsay - I was so grateful for her experience and attention to detail every step of the way. This was a fabulous event location, and I can't wait to return for the next one!

My team managed a sit-down dinner awards event in the Fairmont Copley Plaza Ballroom. The hotel staff, particularly Lyndsay Picciano and the Chef, did an amazing job! Despite a tight turnaround after a very busy weekend, everything came off without a hitch.

We had an amazing time in the most beautiful place in Boston. Lyndsay was very professional and attentive to our needs. Gala ball celebrating our 20th anniversary of the Czech and Slovak Association was a great success.

I have had spectacular experiences with the Fairmont throughout my personal and professional life - but I particularly have had wonderful experiences hosting events for work and working alongside the Fairmont's incredible catering and events staff. They are a pleasure to work with, think of everything, and make hosting an event there so smooth every time. I have held 10+ events at the hotel and each has been seamless and beautiful. They work with you to make your vision a reality and are accessible every step of the way. Lyndsay in particular is a star and a treasure! We are lucky in Boston to have such a beautiful and classic space filled with friendly and accommodating staff, a great restaurant, and the most excellent location in the city. I highly recommend the Fairmont - to stay as a guest, to host an event, or simply to have a drink or dinner. A gem of the city and forever my favorite hotel. Read less
