Editorial review:

While it is now owned by the Taj group, this beautiful old world hotel Taj Boston is still a Ritz at heart. There is impeccable service, with specialized butlers for the bath, fireplace and technology, its renowned bar is still as impressive as ever, the rooms tend to be big and comfortable, and the Back Bay location is perfect, situated opposite the Public Garden.

Overview

The crown jewel of Boston Hotels, the four-star Taj Boston is renowned for its cherished traditions, classic style and award-winning service and has welcomed guests from around the world since it first opened its doors in 1927. Located at the corner of the fashionable Arlington and Newbury streets Taj Boston overlooks the charming Public Garden acclaimed for its lagoon used for swan boat rides and ice-skating. Surrounded by art galleries, boutiques and restaurants, Taj Boston is in the heart of it all. The hotel is close to the Theater District, historic sites and shopping at Copley Place and the Hynes Convention Center.

                            Bathroom was surprisingly small and also the breakfasts were very overpriced.
