Frommer's "With its luxurious accommodations, wonderful service, and old-Boston atmosphere, Taj Boston appeals to both vacationers and business travelers." Full review
Concierge "The public spaces are gilded, service is genteel, and the dimly lit, leather-studded bar overlooking the park is still a favorite with Boston Brahmins."
Fodor's "The old-school elegant Taj is doing its best to win over the old Ritz fans... as well as woo new guests, with discounted weekend rates and a soft renovation." Full review

Avoid rooms on the 16th floor, under the roof-deck party space.

"Bought from the Ritz-Carlton in 2007, the Taj Boston holds on to the Ritz' elegant look, but also offers some superb perks, like chenille bathrobes and free rides in the house Jaguar." Full review
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."

"The venerable Taj Boston, perched at the top of Newbury Street across from the Public Garden, hasn’t changed much since it opened in the 1920s." 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

"The 498-room Hyatt Regency is in need of an overhaul -- it's outdated, disorganized, and not well maintained."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
