Concierge "Head to the hotel's City Bar, a popular late-night hangout for the local club set."
Fodor's "A good alternative to chain-owned, big-box Back Bay hotels, the family-owned Lenox with top-notch service continues to please a well-groomed clientele." Full review
Lonely Planet "While the atmosphere is a tad old-world, you don’t have to forgo modern conveniences to live with that ethos." Full review

"A fixture in Boston since 1900, this 214-room, green-minded Back Bay boutique offers a prime location near Copley Square, two lively bars, and fantastic free amenities." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This landmark hotel, just off Copley Square behind the Boston Public Library, features sumptuous Edwardian detail in its public areas."
Rough Guide "Billed as Boston’s version of the New York’s Waldorf-Astoria when its doors first opened in 1900, the Lenox – after a recent renovation – remains one of the most upscale hotels in the city."
Star Service "The staff caters well to the hotel's diverse clientele, and the convenient location (with a T station nearby) makes this an ideal spot for both business travelers and leisure guests. " Full review
Gayot "Opened in 1900 by the same man who owned the New York Waldorf-Astoria, this small luxury hotel offers European charm in a prime Copley Square location."
BlackBook "Futuristic test kitchen for Legal Seafoods."
Time Out "The privately owned Lenox, which first opened in 1900, boasts a prime location next to the Boston Public Library and oozes quiet elegance." Full review

Frommer's "Your fellow guests at this 22-story hotel are likely to be other convention-goers during the week, and sightseers and families on weekends." Full review
Fodor's "Picturesque, Downtown Crossing is not, as it is packed with every conceivable kind of discount store and street vendor, but the area hums with activity." Full review
OysterUpscale
"The 498-room Hyatt Regency is in need of an overhaul -- it's outdated, disorganized, and not well maintained." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The Hyatt offers spacious rooms with modern decor and is located close to the up-and-coming Ladder District, with several fine restaurants and night-time entertainment venues nearby."
Star Service "Set in a dull part of town, two minutes' walk from the Downtown Crossing T station and filling a tall, sharply angled tower, this hotel benefits from Hyatt's adept management skills." Full review
Gayot "Style and subtlety are hallmarks here. A tasteful Waterford chandelier hangs in the stately lobby, and artwork and antiques are displayed discreetly throughout the interiors."
Zagat3.7
"The location of this 22-story chain outpost ("steps from the T and in the heart of Downtown") "makes it a winner" for business travelers and sightseers."
Star Service "In East Boston, this property is the second-best waterfront hotel in the Boston area after the Boston Harbor." Full review
