As at any top 5-star hotel, impeccable personal service distinguishes Fifteen Beacon, but it goes several steps beyond what other hotels offer.

Need to go somewhere nearby? The hotel's complimentary in-town Lexus car service and chauffeurs will take you.

Contact the concierge before arriving to discuss your needs - airport transport, tickets, private tours of the city, exercise equipment in your room - and they'll be met.

Fifteen Beacon occupies a stately 1903 Beaux Arts building, complete with a magnificent marble staircase and a very cool see-through elevator.

You'll be greeted with fresh fruit on all of XV Beacon's 10 floors, specially baked pastries made by the in-house pastry chef when you arrive (plus special biscuits for pooch), windows that open, Frette linens and cashmere throws, free WiFi, and other luxurious comforts.

A top attraction is the modern gas fireplace in each of XV Beacon Hotel's rooms and suites. You'll also find large smart flat screen televisions, rainforest shower heads, heated towel racks, and bathrobes and slippers. Enjoy the 24-hour fitness room outfitted with high end equipment.

The 63 rooms and suites are individually decorated, with no two quite alike. They feature a stylish mix of luxurious but comfortable modern and antique furnishings, along with commissioned artwork and fresh flowers. There are seven different types - including the splurge-worthy Bromfield and Gilbert Stuart 1- and 2-bedroom suites with dining tables that can seat 12.

What's Behind the XV Beacon's Success?

Wonder why XV Beacon offers the perfect combination of superb service and luxurious comfort?

Owner Paul Roiff, a local real estate developer with no prior hotel experience, created Fifteen Beacon based on his vision of an ideal luxury hotel, along with a somewhat more casual "sister" hotel, Inn at St. Botolph.

Fifteen Beacon Hotel Parking

Although no onsite parking is available, the hotel offers valet parking (currently $56/night but check before you go as fees may change) with unlimited in/out privileges.

A thriftier option, if you don't need in/out service, is to drop off your bags at the hotel (give them a call if you need help with your bags) and then head to a garage.

The least-expensive nearby parking for weekends and nights is at Boston Common Garage (a 4-5 minute walk). Center Plaza Parking Garage (32 Tremont Street) offers even cheaper rates on week nights (in after 4pm, out before 6am) and weekend (Saturday or Sunday, 6am-6am) parking, but is a bit further away.

You can save the most by not bringing your car at all, if possible.
