Frommer's Review
This is one of the best business hotels in the city, with the most central location if your destination is the Financial District. Leisure travelers who take advantage of weekend discounts will find themselves practically on top of the waterfront and downtown attractions but -- by tough downtown Boston standards -- not all that close to public transit.
Elegantly decorated and large enough to hold a generous work area, the luxurious, regularly refurbished guest rooms have 153 configurations, including loft suites with two bathrooms. A glass mansard roof surrounds the top three stories, where a number of units have large sloped windows. Buildings envelop the hotel on three sides; the most desirable rooms face the lovely park in Post Office Square. The city views are engaging, but they pale in comparison to the vistas from the best units at the Langham's main competitors, the Boston Harbor Hotel and the InterContinental Boston. The imposing nine-story building, designed by R. Clipston Sturgis in 1922 in the style of a 16th-century Roman palace, originally housed the Federal Reserve Bank.
Facilities:Restaurant (Mediterranean); cafe w/Sun jazz brunch and Sat "Chocolate Bar Buffet" (Sept-June); bar w/live piano most nights; 40-ft. indoor pool; well-equipped health club; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; business center; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; rooms for those w/limited mobility
