Renaissance Mayflower Review

The Mayflower's illustrious history began at its opening in 1925, when it served as the site of Calvin Coolidge's inaugural ball. President-elect FDR and family lived in room 776 while waiting to move into the White House; this is where he penned the words, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."

Guest rooms feature pure-white duvets atop Marriott's signature "Revive" pillowtop mattresses, embroidered drapes, silk wall coverings, and plush armchairs. Many guest rooms have their own marble foyers; all have a high ceiling and Italian marble bathroom. The Mayflower has a club level on the eighth floor, as well as 74 one-bedroom suites.

A 2011 renovation redesigned the lobby, closing down the Town and Country Lounge and moving the Thomas Pink store into that space, and turning the space originally occupied by Thomas Pink into the hotel's new restaurant and bar area. The redesign also closed the lovely Café Promenade to the public and transformed that room into an event space. Locals aren't happy: The Town and Country and its bartender Sambonn Lek were institutions, and the Café Promenade had long been a popular power-breakfast and -lunch spot.

The Mayflower is a nonsmoking property.

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.
