Jurys Boston Hotel

Frommer's Review

Jurys Doyle, a well-known Irish chain, isn't all that familiar in Boston, but this building is: It used to be police headquarters. These days the welcome is considerably warmer and the business and leisure clientele a lot more satisfied than the former guests. One wing and the top two floors of the 1925 building are new construction (added for the hotel's opening in 2004), and the limestone-and-brick structure looks great, with dramatic public areas. Decorated in peaceful, muted colors, the luxurious guest rooms have nice touches such as a work area with an ergonomic chair, down comforters, good-size bathrooms (not a sure thing in a renovation project), and windows that open but also do a good job of muffling street noise. Still, light sleepers will want to face away from busy Berkeley Street and perhaps request a room on the second floor, where windows are smaller than elsewhere.
