Nine Zero

This centrally located boutique hotel offers a sleek, sophisticated atmosphere and service in the old-school customer-is-always-right mold. Guest rooms and oversize bathrooms contain opulent features, including luxurious linens and toiletries, and extensive business amenities. The 19-story hotel, which opened in 2002, is part of the eco-conscious luxury Kimpton chain. Tucked away on a side street, which cuts down on noise, Nine Zero is within easy walking distance of downtown, 2 blocks from Boston Common and the subway. More traditional XV Beacon and the more cutting-edge Ames are the closest competitors. The service at all three is attentive and personal; let style and price guide your choice. Tip: Sign up for the frequent-guest program (which is free), and the hotel waives the Internet access fee.
