Best Marriott Hotels in Boston

Located in Boston's historic Back Bay neighborhood by the shops and restaurants housed at the Prudential Center and along Newbury Street, the Boston Marriott Copley Place is ideally located for both business and leisure travelers. With more than 1,000 guest rooms and suites, this large hotel boasts a fitness center, an indoor pool with Boston skyline views and more than 61,000 square feet of meeting and event space. Several dining options are available as well, including a sports bar with multiple flat-screen TVs, the Connexion Lounge and a Starbucks. All three venues received favorable reviews from past diners, though many said the breakfast buffet at Champions was especially tasty. After filling up on gourmet fare, retreat to one of the hotel's accommodations, all of which have pillow-top mattresses, minifridges, flat-screen TVs and work desks and ergonomic chairs. Previous guests appreciated the comfortable, well-appointed rooms, but some lamented the extra charges for in-room Wi-Fi access. Others loved the central location and friendly staff. Plus, this hotel is a member of the Marriott family, so Marriott Bonvoy members can accrue or redeem points by choosing to stay here.

This Marriott – which participates in the Marriott Bonvoy program – receives high marks for its location smack dab in the middle of Boston. Guests loved that many of the city's top attractions were within walking distance of the hotel, so much so that travelers recommended future guests leave their cars behind (especially given the hotel's pricey parking fees). Faneuil Hall Marketplace, the New England Aquarium, the Paul Revere House and the Freedom Trail are all less than a half-mile from the hotel's doorstep. Business travelers appreciated the hotel's address as well for its close proximity to the airport (which is about 4 miles east). Accommodations here feature amenities common to Marriott properties, including flat-screen TVs, wireless internet (for a fee), iPod docking stations and coffee makers. To make the most of the hotel's location, visitors recommend booking a room with views of the water. If you can't upgrade, you can still enjoy harbor vistas from the indoor pool's floor-to-ceiling windows. The 24-hour fitness center or the library-style lobby lounge are also prime places to unwind and recharge. There is only one restaurant on-site, the Waterline, but travelers say there are plenty more options close to the hotel.
