Back Bay Hotel - Favorite Boston Luxury Hotel

Stay in style in the former Boston Police Headquarters

Back Bay Hotel (formerly known as Jurys Hotel Boston) near the Theatre District features many of the same high-end amenities that you'll find at Boston luxury hotels - but at attractive mid-range rates.

Located near the southeast corner of Back Bay, the hotel occupies an elegant 1925 Italian Renaissance Revival building that once served as the Boston Police Headquarters.  Without a doubt, it's one of the most splendid buildings occupied by any of the hotels in Boston, MA.

With lots of Boston tourism attractions as well as major office buildings nearby, Back Bay Hotel is in an ideal location whether you're here for business or leisure.

A $64 million preservation / renovation project completed just before this stately Boston Mass hotel opened in 2004 brought new life and and luxury touches to the landmark building.

Back Bay Hotel (aka Jurys) is part of Doyles, a top-line Irish hotel chain, which brings a charming Gallic touch to this city with strong Irish roots.

What's Nearby

Back Bay Hotel's location means that you're close to Newbury Street art galleries, fabulous shopping at Copley Place and Prudential Center, beautiful historic churches, and Victorian mansions. 

You're also only three short blocks from the Public Gardens, where you can go for a swan boat ride on the lagoon in warm months, and Boston Common, where you can ice skate on Frog Pond in the winter.  You're within easy walking distance of Downtown Boston, the Freedom Trail, Chinatown, and the Theatre District. 

The Waterfront and North End are a bit farther, but still an easy walk.

Going west, you can walk to Fenway Park and catch a Red Sox game, or to the Museum of Fine Arts and Symphony Hall for some culture (or "cul-cha," if you want the Bostonian pronunciation).  Go south, and you'll be in the South End, where you'll find more delicious chef-owned restaurants than you can count.

And almost right at your doorstep is Bay Village, Boston's most hidden neighborhood.  Walk a couple of blocks east on Stuart Street and turn left onto Arlington Street.  Walk 2-3 more blocks and turn left - doesn't matter which street - and enjoy the neighborhood's wonderful Federal and Deco architecture, tree-lined streets, and gas lamps.
