A bit pricey but an excellent stay for those looking for a hotel located close to Boston's best shopping and plenty other choices of entertainment and activity. The rooms are clean, a little bit small, but stylish. Highly recommended.

You do feel special as you pull up - one or two uniformed bellmen help with your luggage and vehicle. The lobby is very formal with oriental rugs, mirrored doors, heavy drapes and lots of period chairs and rather stiff sofas.

Everyone you pass greets you. Check-In is orderly and efficient - no time wasted getting you settled - the bell hop gives you a brief history of the hotel, acquaints you with your room and surroundings and offers to fill your ice bucket. Since the Fairmont Copley Plaza was built in 1912, the rooms in the 6-story building are on the small side with very high ceilings and narrow windows, but they have managed to install a/c - in the closet - It did keep the room at a comfortable temperature. The closet is small, but there is sufficient storage space in the dark wood armoire, dresser and night stands.

The two chairs provided - a desk chair and an arm chair - are not comfortable and much too formal. The lighting is more for mood than work, but the bed is so, so comfortable - triple sheeted with fluffy down pillows and a moire quilted spread.

The marble bathroom with granite countertops has high end touches - citrus scented bath products, silver and glass tissue and soap holders, the face cloths are rolled and tied with a gold and black ribbon, but the magnifying make up mirror is set too high and the lighting is too poor, rendering it close to useless. What I did miss was the coffee maker that we've had in other Fairmonts.

A few hints -
1. Join the President's Club on line at www.Fairmont.com prior to your stay and take along your # for complimentary Internet access.
2. Ask for a room overlooking the street - the heavy room darkening drapes help minimize the outdoor noise at night. The courtyard rooms have no views at all and are also darker during the day.
3. Beware of the bottled water and the basket of tempting goodies in the armoire...a very dear price to pay for the enjoyment!
4. A car is not need in Boston and the parking is $39 per day.

This hotel is in a great spot - close to shops, restaurants, museums, and historic churches. The "T" is one block away - A 3-day pass for $9 or a 7 day pass for $15 are a great deal. Close

The staff was most friendly and helpful. I could with ease state that of all the hotels I have frequented, this one oozed with courtesy.
