Sunfinder Vacations

Boston's only downtown Hilton has an elegant and intimate feel, beginning in the lobby with its marble floors and upholstered chairs and couches. The Lobby Lounge is a quiet place to mingle and enjoy a cocktail. The hotel attracts a business clientele during the week and vacationers on weekends.

The Sheraton Boston Hotel is popular with both convention-goers and vacationers. Guests can settle in with a coffee drink at a Starbucks, and stay connected at The Link @ Sheraton with its complimentary Internet access. The hotel provides an indoor connection to the Hynes Convention Center, Prudential Center, and Copley Place Mall. Newbury Street, with its many restaurants, is only a block away.

Originally built in 1912, The Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel looks and feels like a grand castle, right down to its stone façade guarded by two golden lions. The interior is elegant with long hallways and large common areas under coffered ceilings, gold-painted moldings, crystal chandeliers, and French antiques. The typical clientele includes business and leisure travelers, celebrities, and U.S. presidents.

There are now two Ritz-Carlton hotels in Boston. This is the contemporary companion to the traditional beauty three blocks away. The decor is elegantly enhanced by a $1 million art collection. Artfully arranged orchids, jades, and miniature Asian-inspired rock gardens, along with background music, create a feeling of peace and tranquility throughout the property.

An expansive glass entryway with cascading waterfalls surrounds the escalator leading to the Westin’s lobby. During the week, business travelers occupy the lobby’s upholstered sofas and oversized leather armchairs. On weekends, families and leisure travelers mingle en route to the hotel’s many restaurants, shops, and salons.
