The Fairmont Copley Plaza

Celebrated Boston address

  • AAA 4 Diamond Hotel
  • Centrally located in Boston
  • Exclusive amenities available

The Fairmont Copley Plaza, a symbol of Boston's rich history and elegance since its gala opening in 1912, epitomizes the culture and traditions of Boston. After an extensive renovation and restoration of each of the hotel's guestrooms and suites, The Fairmont Copley Plaza shines brigher than ever.

As part of the restoration, the hotel has added Fairmont Gold, an exclusive 'hotel within a hotel', delivering the highest level of service to the most discerning travelers.

Steps away from historic Beacon Hill, the Charles River Esplanade, Copley Place, the boutiques of Newbury Street and the Hynes Convention Center, The Fairmont Copley Plaza Boston is fully appointed for meetings, luxurious events and award-winning dining in all its Renaissance splendor.

Editorial Review for The Fairmont Copley Plaza – by Citysearch Staff

The Scene
This 1900s Renaissance Revival building rises six stories, flanked on either side by the Boston Public Library and Trinity Church. It's located in Copley Square and welcomes guests with a cheerful red awning and carpet unfurled to herald new arrivals. Guests enjoy proximity to such attractions as Beacon Hill and Newbury Street.

The Details
Guest rooms are decorated in rich hues and feature huge desks, marble and granite bathrooms and reproduction antiques. Suites are sumptuous and regal, with leather furnishings, fireplaces and cathedral ceilings. The best views can be found in rooms facing Copley Square or Clarendon Street. A renovation of the entire property added high-speed Internet access, luxury bedding and the Fairmont Gold, a "hotel within the hotel" for guests looking for more lounge space and extra amenities. The Oak Room steakhouse is the recipient of countless awards. There is a small fitness center for guest use.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

05/18/2008 Posted by Cashm

I always stay at 5 star hotels. This one was not 5 star maybe 2 star. First noise was vibrating room till 1am because of a wedding. No view, my view was of a ledge. I had the deluxe signature room. Then came back the next day and the room was not serviced at 4pm. Called to complain and still took 1/2 more as they have to be specific as to who will do my room meaning the guest waits till they are available. I bought the $7 bottle of water, you would think it would be replaced to buy another one, no, had to ask for that to. Front desk manger and staff are nice and helpful and will try to resolve your problems, but these are problems that should not be happening to begin with. Like not leaving extra toilet paper. Roll gets used, leave another one, nope, not so. I have platinum status with Fairmont but why bother, I would not stay here again. If the Four Seasons would have been available I would have been there. This is not high end. Again, front desk staff very nice, Kate the dog is lovely.

Pros: front desk staff, katie coply, doorman,location

Cons: too much noise, room not serviced at 4:30pm still

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

I've stayed at the hotel a few times - truly superb location and the Oak Room is stunning. Possibly the best location in the city and my experience of the staff is that they are extremely helpful and friendly. I am British and lived in Bermuda at the time of my visits, so my standards with regard to hotels are fairly high. The Copley Plaza easily outdid both Bermuda and the UK. I'd highly recommend it - and indeed have.

Pros: location, architecture, oak room

Cons: n/a, n/a, n/a

The "Grand Dame of Boston" sports an exterior that's reminiscent of New York's Plaza Hotel.  See the full editorial review.
