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

Frommer's "The only sizable lodging close to lively Central Square, this hotel primarily attracts visitors to MIT and the tech-oriented businesses nearby." Full review
Fodor's "Not surprisingly, the hotel is a hub for techie business travelers, but it can also be a bargain for weekend vacationers—there are great off-season rates." Full review

"Contemporary rooms and a great location near Central Square -- right on the edge of the MIT campus -- make this 210-room boutique a solid upper-middle-range option in Cambridge." Full review
Rough Guide "Contemporary hotel anchoring an office tower near MIT."
DK Eyewitness "Sleekly contemporary, it is also handy to the music bars and ethnic restaurants of Cambridge’s Central Square."
Star Service "A brilliant choice for academics and alumni, this hotel, like the graduates it hosts, is one of the brightest options in the market, just four blocks northwest of campus." Full review

Rooms on the eighth floor eyeing the Prudential Building are worth requesting, but avoid odd exposures that look out upon ducts.
Zagat3.7
""Modern, upscale" style distinguishes this Starwood property in Cambridge, with a location "convenient" to the Kendall Square tech and innovation district."
Lonely Planet "In the heart of the MIT campus, this contemporary hotel fuses art, design and science."
Gayot "This unique establishment feels as if it's a showcase for MIT. Artwork, computer programs and other innovative objects by MIT students and alumni are on display and in use throughout."
