Four Seasons Boston

The Four Seasons Boston delivers East Coast elegance and is the place to stay when you are in the Hub. The hotel boasts spacious rooms overlooking the Boston Public Garden and Common, exceptional staff, and the best bartender in New England. We visited Four Seasons Boston before Christmas and were cheered by the festive decorations in the iconic hotel, particularly the impressive Christmas tree at the center of the hotel’s grand staircase. Even when it was cold outside, the Four Seasons provided warmth throughout the property—and inner warmth with complimentary specialty coffee and tea each morning at Sottovento coffeehouse. A highlight was ice skating on the Boston Commons Frog Pond with a basket full of hot chocolate and festive treats from the hotel along with warm beanies. When lit by Christmas lights, the Boston Common is particularly magical. When we tired ourselves out circling the rink, we relaxed at the bar with some specialty après skate cocktails—the Chocolate Affair (vodka with ganache, chocolate liqueur, and winter spice) and the Winter Bazaar (mulled red wine with brandy, citrus, winter spice, and honey). When the sun was shining bright, we had a delightful walk through the Boston Public Gardens across the street from the hotel. We also walked to a wonderful performance of the hit musical Six at the nearby Emerson Colonial Theatre. Boston was a great place to finish up our Christmas shopping with the extraordinary variety of shops on nearby Newbury Street. We also enjoyed Boston’s unique holiday markets and picked up a variety of treats at the SoWa Winter Festival. It's always a great time to stay at Four Seasons Boston!

The Four Seasons was a very pleasant stay for our family during the New Year period. The staff was excellent and the service was impeccable. The check in process was easy with Michael, the person that checked us in, showing us the elevator and the room, making sure it was to our liking. By the way, “city view” means the room looks over a back street, whereas “garden view” rooms look over the public garden, which is what you would want to choose. The hotel offers excellent free coffee in the morning, hot chocolate in the evening and “the vault”, which is a snack room on every floor that offers free snacks throughout the day. Pool and gym facilities were good too. The only negative feedback would be about their restaurant, Coterie. Although the decor makes you feel wlcomed, the menu, the food and everything that was offered were a big disappointment. It felt so not in sync with the rest of the hotel, as if they had hired a kitchen person from a diner to be their chef. Room service, on the other hand, was delicious. Overall, I think the location cannot be beaten and the service and facilities are up to 4S name. I would stay again.

From the time you arrive, it was a pleasure and joy to be there. Everyone is just so nice

Everything was so good. The Lobster Roll is a must 😋

Beautiful hotel

We have stayed here quite a bit and I've probably already reviewed this hotel but, if so, it time to do it again. My husband and I are both from Massachusetts so we travel to Boston pretty frequently. We have stayed in most of the luxury hotels in Boston (M.O., Ritz, Boston Harbor hotel, Newbury, XV Beacon, Raffles) and prefer this to all others. After a poor experience at a very high end hotel that shall remain nameless, my husband made a reservation at the Four Seasons to change over to stay there instead. They had a room and told him it would be ready by 10:30 am. that same day. The staff was superlative and the whole stay was just lovely (including the Amex FHR upgrade). We had a park facing suite, with park views from both the bedroom and the living area. The contrast between the hotel we were at and the FS was stark and it was nice to feel valued and pampered. The hotel has always been great but has recently improved with a beautiful renovation of the lobby area and a revamping of the room service menu. In the past, I was always a bit disappointed with the lack of vegan options on the menu. Not this time! There were several options for every meal and the food was great.

Excellent Service and support

This hotel delivers on every front! The rooms are beautiful, the amenities throughout the hotel are luxurious and thoughtful, and the service is impeccable. The renovated lobby and bar space is fun and hip. The app is absolutely amazing, allowing you to do everything from ordering a complimentary coffee in the morning to requesting housekeeping service and help with any other questions you may have. The responses are very quick and friendly. The Vault on each floor with complimentary snacks is fabulous! And their team is consistently so friendly and professional, absolutely top notch service. I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

The view was beautiful overlooking the Boston Garden. I did a morning run with Chef Patrice which was lovely.

The hotel does not have strong blow dryers for customers. Even the replacement they gave me didn't work. I expect a facility like this to have a high end working blow dryer that is strong, not weak.
