The hotel

The Hilton Back Bay hotel is ideally located in the heart of the city's most picturesque neighbourhood just steps away from the great shopping of the Prudential center, Copley plaza and Newbury street just minutes away. With Boston being such a ‘walkable’ city this hotel is perfect for first time visitors to get up close and personal with the city and from the upper floors of the hotel you have an excellent view of the Charles River and Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox. There is the nice addition of a heated indoor pool with Jacuzzi and during the summer months an outdoor sunbathing patio – very welcoming after all that walking. Casually elegant, the Forty Dalton restaurant have some very friendly bar staff on hand to whisk up a stunning cocktail and give you some tips on what to see next during your stay. For further refreshment there is also a Starbucks® café in the lobby where you can get your favourite latte whilst using the free Internet facilities.

It was easy to get to great restaurants, shopping and the train station. I would give 5 stars but the beds were very uncomfortable as they are very FIRM.… Read more

Ad did not match what I received for a room or fees associated. Good location but stay at neighboring hotels you will get more for your money. This hotel was very basic with small rooms. Front desk very annoyed when you ask questions.

Decor was like a bad sci fi movie, too much black and silver, numbers indicating floor level were made of bolts..really? Not sure who is outfitting Hiltons these days but seeing some unfortunate looks..
