Fodor's "Luxury and service without pretense makes this hip spot a solid choice." Full review
Lonely Planet "Set amid Commonwealth Ave’s brownstones and just steps away from Fenway Park, this independent luxury hotel enjoys prime real estate." Full review
OysterUpscale
"The 148-room Hotel Commonwealth is one of the most well-rounded boutique hotels in Boston." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The opening of this ultra-modern hotel in 2002 signaled the gentrification of student-oriented Kenmore Square. French Second Empire decor is combined with hi-tech amenities."
Rough Guide "Old-world charm mixed with modern decor makes this a welcome addition to Boston’s luxury hotel scene, with nice touches like choice linens and L’Occitaine products, as well as the Eastern Standard restaurant."
Star Service "This is one of the best independent boutique-hotels in the city, a short-lister for anyone that appreciates animated interiors and a colorful built-in social scene with fine dining and a fun bar at its core." Full review
Gayot "Although constructed after the turn of the millennium, this hotel has an old-fashioned feel to it."
BlackBook "Largest rooms in Boston, with Fenway views for season ticketholders and their appreciative guests."
Zagat3.8

Frommer's "With its exquisite service, beautiful location, elegant guest rooms and public areas, terrific health club, and wonderful restaurants, the Four Seasons is the best hotel in Boston." Full review
Concierge "Sitting on perhaps the most coveted piece of the city's real estate, the Four Seasons Boston overlooks the Public Garden and is within walking distance of Newbury Street's couture boutiques."
Fodor's "This Public Garden–facing spot keeps a surprisingly low profile in Boston—and that's OK by the jeans-clad millionaires and assorted business types who cluster in the glossy lobby." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Low-key contemporary luxury draws rock stars, authors, corporate businesspeople, and visiting dignitaries."
Rough Guide "The tops in city accommodation, with 288 large rooms. The penthouse-level health spa has an indoor pool that seems to float over the Public Garden. $350."
Star Service "This top-shelf address continues to prove itself as one of the leaders in Boston, with superlative service and a long list of amenities." Full review
Gayot "This cream-of-the-crop property overlooks Beacon Hill, the State House dome and the Public Garden from its premier location."
Zagat4.3
"The Four Seasons brand "lives up to its reputation" at this "plush" property, the "crème-de-la-crème of hotels in Downtown Boston" with a "fabulous location"."
Forbes Travel Guide 5 Stars
"When it comes to superlative service, no one does it like the Four Seasons, and the Boston outpost is no exception." Full review
Lonely Planet "Utter the two words ‘Four Seasons’ and you might as well be uttering a whole paragraph of superlative adjectives to describe one of the finest hotel chains."
