As one of the most pet friendly hotels in Boston, the Copley Plaza welcomes your dog.  If circumstances require you to leave him or her at home, you're invited to spend time with the hotel's resident dog, an adorable black Labrador.

A recently completed $34 million dollar restoration / renovation has benefited the guest quarters, especially the higher-end options that enable the Copley to compete with other Boston luxury hotels. 

However, keep in mind that this is an old hotel, and rooms come in all sizes and shapes.  Some rooms are small, and are available at lower rates similar to what you might find in inexpensive Boston hotels.  In fact, you'll find one of the widest ranges in hotel rates in Boston at the Copley, which gives you a lot of choice.

Be sure to check out the Copley Plaza Boston hotel specials, as you can sometimes find great bargains with nice amenity packages.
