Frommer's "With its luxurious accommodations, wonderful service, and old-Boston atmosphere, Taj Boston appeals to both vacationers and business travelers." Full review
Concierge "The public spaces are gilded, service is genteel, and the dimly lit, leather-studded bar overlooking the park is still a favorite with Boston Brahmins."
Fodor's "The old-school elegant Taj is doing its best to win over the old Ritz fans... as well as woo new guests, with discounted weekend rates and a soft renovation." Full review

Avoid rooms on the 16th floor, under the roof-deck party space.

"Bought from the Ritz-Carlton in 2007, the Taj Boston holds on to the Ritz' elegant look, but also offers some superb perks, like chenille bathrobes and free rides in the house Jaguar." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The property became part of the Taj Hotel Group in 2007, but continues to emphasize elegance and excellent service."
Rough Guide "Replacing (albeit lovingly) Boston’s historic Ritz-Carlton, Taj Boston is the ultimate in luxurious, old-school Boston accommodation."
Star Service "The hotel also features complimentary daily newspaper and shoeshine, a 24-hour concierge, and perhaps the fastest and most expensive laundry service guests will ever encounter. " Full review
Gayot "As the original Ritz-Carlton, which opened in 1927, this hotel retained all of the glitz and glamour when it changed hands to become a Taj property."
BlackBook "A recent extensive restoration left glittering crystal chandeliers and shiny marble in its luxurious wake."

As at the Back Bay's other lofty lodgings, ask for the highest possible floor and you'll enjoy excellent views.

"A huge, 1,148-room hotel that opens into a mall and connects to a convention center, the Marriott appears impersonal and uninviting." Full review
Star Service "This is one of the busiest hotels in Boston thanks to its laudable convention space, location, design, and three floors of shops and dining and drinking establishments that hum with the activity." Full review
Gayot "This gigantic hotel resides in the heart of Copley Place, a huge shopping complex featuring over 60 upscale stores that include Tiffany & Co., Neiman Marcus and Gucci."

"This 38-story tower with something for everyone -- complete business facilities, a good-size pool, and direct access to Boston's shopping wonderland."
Fodor's "It's busy-busy, with throngs of tourists and their offspring, but you can't beat the location of this 38-story megahotel." Full review

YOU SHOULD KNOW If you're over 62, ask for Marriott's senior discount of 15%.
