For a five-star

- Four Seasons One Dalton Street is a slick 61-storey glass tower in Boston's Back Bay, and it's a luxury 5-star hotel with a lot to boast about. Rooms and suites are a master-class in contemporary design. However, book this property for the art collection, 3 buzzy restaurants, and an entire floor dedicated to a spa.
- Four Seasons Boston is a luxury option, well positioned overlooking the Public Garden. Elegant rooms offer wonderful city views and plenty of mod cons. The spa is a real lure offering a wide range of treatments and including a pool, whirlpool and saunas while the fine dining options and cocktail bar are spot on!
- Fairmont Copley Plaza is Boston's landmark luxury hotel which has been in operation since 1912. Expect historic glitz and glamour with 5-star service and great amenities. A local favourite for upscale events, the lobby is always buzzing with a chic crowd. An indulgent choice.
- The Langham, Boston is a five-star luxury hotel, located in the former Federal Reserve Bank in downtown Boston. The elegant rooms exude old school opulence while the collection of bars and restaurants are excellent. Complete with an indoor pool and state-of-the-art spa and fitness suite - this is a has-it-all stay.
For the location

- The Newbury is a grand luxury stay occupying an enviable location in the exclusive Bay Back neighbourhood overlooking the Public Garden. Rooms are contemporary, spacious, and lend wonderful city views while the Italian glass-rooftop restaurant is a romantic spot.
- Again located in Back Bay, Mandarin Oriental Boston, is a classic luxury stay. Suites and rooms are simple and contemporary with a chic Asian aesthetic. Complete with fine dining and a spoiling spa - this is an indulgent choice.
- XV Beacon is a preppy New England frat boy with style; proud and polite but ready to party if you want to. With luxurious rooms, fine-dining and a dedicated wine-room this is a smart choice set in the upscale Beacon Hill neighbourhood.
For a waterfront hotel

- Luxurious Boston Harbor Hotel offers classic rooms with bay or harbour views. Complete with an award-winning restaurant, a spoiling spa, and an indoor pool, not to mention first-class service, this indulgent choice is worth every penny.
For a boutique

- The Whitney Hotel is a luxury boutique set at the foot of Beacon Hill. Rooms are stylish and feature white subway-tiled bathrooms and offer lovely city views. However, the family run Italian/American restaurant is a charming personal touch and the real attraction.
For foodies

- Once a jail, The Liberty Hotel is now a chic luxury hotel. Rooms are spacious and minimalist and offer epic views over the Charles River. Boasting two of Boston's best fine dining restaurants (innovative modern dishes at CLINK and excellent Italian at Scampo) plus there are knockout cocktails at Alibi. A foodie haven.
- Eliot Hotel is like a little bit of Paris in Boston. Rooms are elegant and the location, in the Bay Back area, is unbeatable. However, at the heart of this property is the superlative French restaurant, Clio, and the sushi offering in Uni Sashimi Bar.
