Frommer's Review

Many luxury hotels offer exquisite service, a beautiful location, elegant guest rooms and public areas, a terrific health club, and wonderful restaurants. No other hotel in Boston -- indeed, in New England -- combines every element as seamlessly as the Four Seasons. If I were traveling with someone else's credit cards, I'd head straight here. Overlooking the Public Garden, the 16-story brick-and-glass building (the hotel occupies eight floors) incorporates the traditional and the contemporary. The spacious accommodations feel more like stylish apartments than hotel rooms, with lots of plush fabrics, elaborate moldings, and marble bathrooms. The best units overlook the Public Garden; city views from the back of the hotel aren't as desirable but can be engaging, especially from the higher floors. The staff is famously accommodating to businesspeople, families, and celebrities. Larger accommodations range from executive suites with parlor areas to luxurious deluxe suites with sweeping views.

Facilities: Restaurant (Aujourd'hui); bar (The Bristol); 44-ft. pool and Jacuzzi overlooking the Public Garden; newly renovated health club and spa; concierge; tour desk; limo to downtown; business center; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; rooms for those w/limited mobility.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
