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."
