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.

Can’t speak enough about the amazing service and beautiful event that we hosted there. I also stayed the night and the room and service were both outstanding. They went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and every need was attended to. The event hosts were professional and by far some of the best service that we’ve ever received in my many years of event planning!!! I highly recommend both the Fairmont Copley as a hotel and for events. Thank you all for making our event and stay so special! We are looking forward to planning more events here in the future!!! Also, have to say they are pet-friendly and the happy pups along with the festive holiday decor made for a truly memorable stay. Please consider here when planning an event and staying here as well when visiting Boston. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much to the Fairmont Copley for everything!!! Read less

Great stay for one night due to business. The restaurant food was top tier loved every bite. I would love to see the hotel provide a few snack options downstairs in lobby to avoid going outside to a third party establishment.

Amazing Bar/Kitchen dining area! Great ambience alongside quality of both food and service! Room shows attention to detail from pillows, mattress, bathroom facilities and amenities all over. Venue well located centrally and close to all sightseeing places and subway for further distances travel, if required!

We stayed here over the Thanksgiving weekend. It was a very disappointing experience. The hotel needs a major overhaul. The rug in our room had a seam coming apart and a leaky faucet, while the dining room rug looked as if it had never been cleaned.

We stayed here over the Thanksgiving weekend. It was a very disappointing experience. The hotel needs a major overhaul. The rug in our room had a seam coming apart and a leaky faucet, while the dining room rug looked as if it had never been cleaned. There was a single doorman who managed to open, occasionally, one of the two double doors to enter or exit the building. The reception desk was poorly manned, with often no, or only one, receptionist trying to do it all. Room service dishes were left out in the hall for 24 hours, all in all not something you'd expect from a 4/5 star hotel. On the positive side, what staff that existed were friendly, and the gym was nice. All in all, I cannot recommend this hotel. We, and the other family members that joined us, agreed we would never stay in this hotel again. Read less
