Charles Hotel, 1 Bennett St., Cambridge (tel. 800/882-1818). Steps from the hubbub of Harvard Square, the unfailingly elegant Charles is a sanctuary of contemporary design and traditional pampering.
Eliot Hotel, 370 Commonwealth Ave., Back Bay (tel. 800/44-ELIOT). Location and layout give the Eliot the feel of a luxury apartment building. Business amenities and elegant traditional furnishings contribute to its seamless blend of commerce and comfort.
Four Seasons Hotel, 200 Boylston St., Back Bay (tel. 800/819-5053). The best hotel in New England has everything -- and what it doesn't have on the premises, the incredible staff will track down. Superb service, plush accommodations, and lavish amenities make a stay here unforgettable.
Boston Harbor Hotel, Rowes Wharf, Waterfront (tel. 800/752-7077). Dazzling architecture, a great location, and maniacal attention to detail -- the latest guest-room renovation added curved trim that echoes the hotel complex's signature arch -- add up to pampering on a suitably dramatic scale.
