We booked XV Beacon based on the TripAdvisor reviews ignoring some recommendation about other famous chain-hotels. If you also need a reason why to book this hotel instead other big names in town here they are:
First is for sure the STAFF: is the plus of the hotel indeed! friendly, helpful, cheerful and of course professional. Mitchell and Emily at the front desk, they upgrade us to a beautiful room, made all the check-in/out procedure as fast and smooth as possible better you cannot ask for.
Julie and Michael at the Concierge, organised our free time at best, was always prepared in suggesting the best place in town. We were never disappointed with what they were arranged for us. The bellmen at always a smile and friendly words to welcome us back after a day out. Just to mention some of them but everybody does a great job since also in our room we never had an amenities missing and everything was clean and tidy we never had our room undone or a turn-down forgotten.
Second is for sure LOCATION:from the hotel you can walk everywhere in town. There are trolley tours leaving almost in front of the hotel door, the parks just two minutes away, charming Beacon Hill just behind, restaurants, bars, shopping street and commercial center a few streets away. Furthermore the hotel provide an extra service: a great Lexus Limousine to drive you around within the center for your dinner reservation or business appointment (and the drivers are wonderful too!)
The AMBIENCE is also very special, is not an hotel of uncountable rooms. There are 10 floor all very nice decorated, the lobby as has been written is not big but cosy and honestly who needs to be in the lobby when you have a beautiful sitting area with own fireplace and lounge music waiting upstairs.. The room are elegantly decorated using only best items; new towels by Frette, crispy bed linen, king size bed with best comfort mattress (we never slept so good despite the time difference!) cashmere blankets by Marzotto. Big marble bathroom with whirlpool bathtub, quality toiletries refurbished daily.
We were during Xmas time for a weekend break, Boston during holiday season is sparkling and romantic but staying to this hotel add such a special "magic" to our trip we will never forget!!
