Boston Marriott Copley Place

This 38-story tower with something for everyone -- complete business facilities, a good-size pool, and direct access to Boston's shopping wonderland -- is extremely popular with convention and meeting planners and is the hotel component of countless package deals. The contemporary-style guest rooms are large enough to hold two armchairs or an armchair and an ottoman; they have the chain's signature Revive bedding and down comforters. As at the Back Bay's other lofty lodgings, ask for the highest possible floor and you'll enjoy excellent views. Besides booking hordes of vacationers, this Marriott and the Sheraton Boston are New England's biggest convention hotels; the Sheraton has a better pool, but both are reliable and comfortable enough that you can't go wrong by letting price and frequent-traveler points help you distinguish between them.
