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.
