Nine Zero

Frommer's Review

This is anything but a traditional Boston hotel. Sleek and sophisticated, it feels almost like a transplant from New York or L.A. -- and that's a good thing. The contemporary atmosphere distinguishes Nine Zero from the traditional establishments that dominate this market, but the service is in the old-school customer-is-always-right mold devotees of the Kimpton brand have come to expect. The decent-size guest rooms and oversize bathrooms contain opulent features, including luxurious linens and toiletries, down comforters, cordless two-line phones, and extensive business amenities. The 19-story hotel (new construction, not a rehab) opened in 2002. This neighborhood is convenient for both business and leisure travelers: It's within easy walking distance of most downtown destinations and 2 blocks from the subway to Cambridge. Though technically in a different neighborhood, nearby Fifteen Beacon is Nine Zero's closest competitor; the service at both is attentive and personal, but this one offers more bang for the buck.
