The Lenox Hotel Boston

Luxury hotels in Boston Mass

But that's only the beginning of the wonderful things that you'll find at this luxury boutique hotel in Boston's famed Copley Square, the heart of elegant Back Bay.

Built in 1900 as the best of the Boston luxury hotels at that time, this small independently-owned luxury boutique hotel has been owned and managed by the same family since the 1960s. 

The owners have spared no expense in their dedication to ensuring that the Lenox continues to be the best luxury hotel in Boston.

As a result of extensive renovations and multiple upgrades through the years, the Lenox Hotel Boston has been beautifully restored to its turn-of-the-century splendor.  Walk through the elegant mahogany-paneled public spaces, and you'll feel as though you're visiting a mansion in a Merchant-Ivory movie - or at least that's how I felt during a stay here before we moved to Boston. 

Because it is so splendid, Lenox could easily be stuffy or pretentious - but it's not that way at all.  It feels warm and homey, a place you'll want to return to every time you visit Boston.  Pets are also welcome.

Fireplaces . . . down comforters . . . bliss

With down comforters and down pillows in the Lenox's 214 rooms and suites, you'll sleep comfortably.  High ceilings, brass chandeliers, crystal lamps, and serene decor add to the ambiance.

Some of the suites even feature working fireplaces, the ultimate luxury in Boston accommodations.

A fitness room contains top-notch equipment, so good that you'll work out a little longer than you'd planned.  You can also enjoy the services of one of Newbury Street's top spas. 

The Lenox uses environmentally friendly cleaning products and extends this earth-awareness by providing a hybrid car service for guests.

What else will you find at the Lenox Hotel Boston?

Although the Lenox Hotel Boston's excellent Back Bay location means that numerous excellent restaurants are just a short distance away, you'll also find three good choices right at the hotel. 

City Table restaurant specializes in updated American classic dishes made with fresh organic ingredients.

Solas is a cozy Irish pub, and City Bar is exactly what its name say - a pleasant and sophisticated city bar.

But again . . . what makes the Lenox Hotel one of Boston's best is the top-notch, attentive service dedicated to helping you have a great stay in Boston.  If excellent service is your idea of luxury, then you'll find the Lenox truly luxurious.

Surprisingly, you can sometimes find very good rates at the Lenox, especially during the winter months . . . but even the regular rates are quite reasonable, considering the quality of this hotel and the pampered experience you'll have here. 

Boston has a number of hotels that are glitzier than the Lenox.  But none are finer.
