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
