About Fairmont Copley Plaza Boston

  • Hotel Room
    You’ll have a private room with all the hotel’s amenities

Step back into 1912, through the iconic, grand Fairmont Copley Plaza featuring the most lavish lobby in Boston. Known as Boston’s Grand Dame, the hotel has welcomed celebrities like Tom Cruise and Frank Sinatra, almost all U.S. president’s since Taft, and more of the world’s most powerful figures.

Today, the Fairmont Copley Plaza draws a wide range of guests, from conventioneers to college parents to Freedom Trail tourists. The location of the hotel is right on Copley Square in the heart of Back Bay. Guests have convenient and easy access to The Copley Square T, as well as the rest of the city. Several popular areas such as the Prudential Center, Newbury Street, the Charles River, Trinity Church, and the Boston Public Library, are a short walk away.

Fairmont Copley Plaza does not offer as many on-site properties as other luxury hotels nearby, however, the feature it does offer are more convenient and modern. The large fitness center is on the top-floor with city views and includes separate areas for weight training, cardio, and aerobics. Conferences, weddings, and special events can be held in meeting rooms and the ballroom. The sophisticated OAK Long Bar and Kitchen Restaurant offer guests local ingredient and modern American food.

The property may be over 100 years old, but all rooms are up-to-date with an elegant feel. Per usual in older buildings, standard rooms are smaller than most but very affordable for the area. The well-appointed specialty suites offer a theme from events and landmarks in Boston, while the Gold Club rooms feature free Wi-Fi, a lounge with free breakfast, private business center, free snacks, and a library. All accommodations feature mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and other necessities, as well as views of the city.

I used Kayak to make reservations at Fairmont Copley. Somehow there was 9 reservations made in my name even with a confirmation number from the company Kayak uses. The reservations were canceled by someone the day before our due date we were very luck that wedding coordinator found out and contacted us. There was no way to contact Kayak or the other travel company they use we were left out in cold from Kayak.

Kayak, Kayak stoled $246 from me. I booked a room for Thursday, January 30th to attend the opera at Symphony Hall in Boston. My friend's daughter is a leading opera star and will be performing on Thursday, January 30th. After booking the room the screen erroneously booked us for Saturday, August 3rd, 2024. Why would I be booking a room almost six months in advance? After numerous emails and telephone calls I was forced to keep August 3rd, 2024, as the date. Since we had other plans for the weekend, we were no shows. Sincerely, Steve
