Ritz-Carlton, Boston Common

TEL: (800) 241-3333
Boston’s only Ritz (the Taj chain bought the famous Back Bay property in 2006) is an 12-story glass-and-steel monolith that looms above the Common’s greenery. Opened in 2001, the hotel transports you—oddly—to 1985; the glitzy marble lobby, filled with flowers and a 10-foot fireplace, is pure Trump Revival. Thankfully, the 193 guest rooms are a bit more subdued, with velvety earth-toned upholstery, feather beds, and Frette bathrobes—appealing amenities after a workout in the adjacent 100,000-square-foot Sports Club/LA (where $15 gets you near-round-the-clock access).
Room to Book:
Any room above the ninth floor; these have the most direct views over the Common.
Insider Tip:
Keep an eye out for baseball’s best: the Yankees stay here when they’re in town.
