We stayed at the Taj Boston in March for 3 nights. It was our first time visiting Boston.
I booked the Taj through an online booking site and was not disappointed- it is a very luxurious and usually way out of my league place to stay. It is in an outstanding location, overlooking the Public Gardens and Boston Common and when you step out of the hotel, you step onto Newbury Street and your wallet practically jumps out of your pants. Newbury Street hosts a lot of high-end stores and high-end shoppers.
Practicality and family-friendliness have become very important to us in travelling with a little kid (he was just 1 at the time) and Taj didn't let us down there, either. When you're travelling with a little one, they bring you a stocked crib and the cutest gift bag filled with baby toiletries (shampoo, baby powder, etc.) and a little stuffed bear. How cute is that?
Taj Boston's staff were really fantastic- always friendly, knowledgeable about the surrounding area and generally warm and kind.
On-site there was a gym and two restaurants/lounges...and....get this....a Chanel store. I didn't go, but I really, really wanted to. Believe me!
Just down the street there are more affordable food options- chain restaurants, a Dunkin' Donuts (which I understand America apparently runs on) and lots of other stuff.
Like I said, the location was so central to everything, we walked every where and used the subway to visit Harvard Square.
Really great stay, totally impressed!
