"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."
