    This hotel is the best ever. First the location. This hotel is located in the best possible place right in the middle of the back bay. What makes this location the best is that it's 132 steps from the finish of the Boston Marathon. So if you are planning on heading to the race then this hotel is as close to the action as you can. What makes this hotel the best is its staff. I have never been to a hotel where they make each guest feel so special and have world class service. During the marathon this hotel just goes above and beyond for their athletes and families staying there. You will never go to another hotel once you have been to the Lenox and it's because of all the amazing people that work there. The food at the new restaurant Willow and Ivy is amazing. Food comes out super hot and its quality is superb. The price of the meals is going rate and not too crazy priced which is nice. What I loved most is that the menu was not too fancy but just food classic foods like a burger, steaks, chicken and fish. We wanted to venture off to the city to capture the food scene in Boston but loved our experience at their restaurant so much we stayed there for breakfasts and dinners. Get the chicken dinner it's amazing. Room were super spacious and clean. We had a view of Boylston which was awesome. Beds were super comfortable and nice. Overall the Lenox was a top notch hotel with the world class service hotels today miss. Thank you Lenox staff for making the marathon weekend such an amazing time. We will for sure be back.

    We were thrilled with this hotel. We booked 4 rooms. The rooms and common areas (e.g. lobby, hallways, fitness center) were immaculate. First rate in every regard.

    I booked the Lenox for a weekend stay in Boston, I was running the Boston half marathon in November and wanted a location close to Copley square to catch the run bus. Check in was easy and fast. They have an app for digital key which was easy for me as well. I was upgraded to a mini suite and it was a pleasant surprise! Walking in was a closet with the mini fridge and a soft robe. In the room, which was very spacious with a comfy sofa, also a desk, and a large comfy bed. To the right was a non operable fire place, and the bathroom, complete with a large soaking tub. Perfect. The icing on the cake was some chocolates from Lindt! Check out was super easy as well, and they stored my bag for me while I went to brunch down the street. This would be a great location for staying at the Boston marathon as well.

    Nice fitness room!

    Lovely boutique hotel in The Back Bay area of Boston. Close to the best shopping in Boston; Newbury Street and The Prudential Center. Super friendly staff, beautiful hotel. A place where you are made to feel important. I cannot say enough good things about my stay!

    This Hotel is great. All the staff that work here are wonderful, Nice, respectful. During Boston Marathon weekend they go all out for their guests especially if they are participating in the race! They have three restaurant's in the hotel lobby area. All are great and I have been to all them many times. The rooms are nice though sometimes I do find things here and there that are wrong with them. But it is not every time I stay here. Some of the larger rooms have fireplaces that a hotel staff member can turn on for you if asked. I 100% suggest a stay here.

    For quite a while this has been my favorite Hotel Bar in Boston but I hadn't stayed here yet. We had a EXCELLENT time. We were able to get such a luxurious experience for such a good price and the holiday decorations are just lovely .

    Phenomenal service. You ask, you shall receive. The fireplace in the room was a great addition to our trip. And the gentleman who lit it every night was so courteous. The manager Dan - great guy...every time I turned around he was there. I forgot my steamer at home - they handed me one in a bag. Baked oysters at the Irving 10/10.

    Beautiful hotel with a friendly and helpful staff! We needed to switch our reservation from one bed to two at the last minute and they were able to switch it seamlessly! Plus, one member of our party arrived before the others and they were able to confirm over the phone that she was with our party. The valet was incredibly convenient and assisted with our luggage, and the room was comfortable and clean. The free coffee in the morning was tasty, and what other hotel gives cute little treats in the room! Would definitely spend the money to stay here again the next time I am in Boston. My only complaint is - the front desk should have given us a heads up that two out of three restaurants in hotel were reserved for events. We scrambled to find a place to eat at the last minute because of it,

    Welcome treats

    Super pleasant stay. Loved the service and basically everything about this hotel. Excellent location as well.

    Good Morning Scott, unfortunately we don't have free parking, we offer overnight valet parking with in/out privileges for $70. There are other garages in the neighborhood, but the pricing is comparable.… 

    Does the hotel have a pool?

I was very unsure which area to stay in, but I'm so happy I chose CCB because the location is absolutely perfect. Back Bay is very nice and safe. You even have a wonderful park just outside the doorstep to walk around, and the lovely Boston Commons only two blocks away. Check-in/out was one of the most seamless experiences I've had with hotels/airbnbs. I didn't have to check in with anyone, and I received the door code a few days before. They have a lovely dining room for guests with homemade cookies, fruit, coffee and tea. Unfortunately I didn't take advantage of the breakfast, but I'm sure it's great too. CCB is really the perfect mix of a hotel and bed/breakfast. I was unsure about doing the solo room with a shared bathroom, but other than having to wait for the other guest to finish his shower so I could take an urgent bio break, it was no issue at all and I would hands down do it again. I'm pretty sure the other floors have a bathroom if you absolutely need it though. For the location, price, comfort, and amenities, College Club of Boston is a no brainer. I got the please to quickly meet the GM on my way out, and she is super sweet. I even left my airpods in the room, and without hesitation they are shipping them back to me. 5 starts forsure.

It is super well-priced at $15/person for 1.5 hours of gameplay which is more than enough for 2 people. They have a bunch of interactive dart games, including classic, and we were able to play all of them multiple times. Additionally, they have Rookie/Normal/Pro lines on the ground so you can choose where to stand and you don't have to be a professional dart player by any means to play these games. The staff is also super friendly. The only concern I had was that the staff wasn't super attentive to our dart table, so despite us clicking the request service button a few times, my girlfriend had to head to the bar to get our drinks and start a tab. My girlfriend's drink was not good either... it was a vodka mixed drink with a salt rim and it was just too salty. It would've been much better with a sugar rim I think. Other than that though, it was an amazing time and I'd highly recommend Flight Club for a date night, outing with friends, or corporate event!

The top floor is more geared toward taking pictures and has some really great photo opportunities. The lower floor has more of an outdoor feel, along with a great bar, music, and a fun atmosphere. It honestly felt like a great after work hangout spot for adults. There's also a nice gift shop where you can purchase the photos taken at the beginning of the experience or pick up a souvenir. I would definitely recommend View Boston for all ages. The best part was that everyone in our group enjoyed it from the little ones to the older kids, with ages ranging from 2 to 14.

We lived in Boston for years, so we know what we're looking at, but if you're visiting, I'm not sure if you'll really understand what you're seeing. There are no maps, no signs that point out destinations, no employees to tell you what landmarks you're looking at. Nothing. They have a photo package that is a couple photos of you against a photo wall. The photos aren't even of the Boston views. Save your money. Don't go. I can't emphasize that enough. Here are some free alternatives that are pretty nice. 1. Bunker Hill Monument -- Panoramic city views from the topYou can climb the 294 steps for free and get one of the best skyline views in the city. It's the closest true alternative to a paid observation deck. 2.

We were 6 people, bill was around 380..with the tax, tip & recommended 4% for the kitchen staff, another 80 in fees, which kills me after traveling through Europe fairly often. So 440 total. Way to much for one drink each for 5 of us, no drink for the 6th, no bottle of wine, split 1 app 7 olives, no coffee, 2 desserts. Way too pricey. When did 34-38 dollar entrees become the norm ? I would never return for one reason..that 4% tip for the kitchen. Pay your back of the house staff from those $$$$ entrees. Perhaps another idea is to take a % off each $15+ cocktail and pay their kitchen staff with it. I have not seen this done in years..absolutely no where. During the height of Covid, yes. But it faded away rather quickly and left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Also, I'd recommend lighter plates, those poor ladies hauling in those large & heavy dishes is not a good look.

Unfortunately, the food did not live up to the setting or the prices. We started with the $34 charcuterie board. For that price, we were surprised by how little meat was included, along with only a few measly crackers. We ordered additional bread because there simply wasn't enough to accompany the charcuterie--and were then surprised to find a $4 charge for bread and butter. The wine by the glass was also extremely expensive. My wife ordered the chicken Milanese. The salad and sauce served with it were quite good, but unfortunately the chicken cutlet itself was very dry. For dessert, we decided to try the butterscotch pudding. It could not have been more uneventful. The pudding had virtually no discernible butterscotch flavor--or much flavor at all--and what appeared to be canned whipped cream did nothing to improve it. Farmhouse has a pleasant atmosphere and very good service, but considering the quality of the food, portion sizes, and prices, we left disappointed. -- 2 out of 5 stars
