Fairmont Copley Plaza

Positives: - Staff were nice and responsive to the issues we faced. - The hotel is old but beautiful, especially the lobby. - Good location (depending on your plans). Negatives: - Our first room had a giant leak in the closet, which we heard dripping and smelled the mustiness of immediately upon entering, despite being told our room wasn’t ready because it was still being “inspected.” We wondered how that could have possibly been missed during an inspection. We were moved immediately at least. - The room we were moved to shared a floor with guests of a wedding happening at the hotel and for 2/3 nights we were there they were super loud until 3-4am. Hotel security was quick to respond to our complaints but I was surprised they weren’t able to hear the noise prior to us calling given some of it was happening out in the hall on a low floor of a old hotel with thin walls. - The pillows were horrible and gave me intense neck pain. I asked if they had any firmer options three times and was told each time they had firmer pillows but the first time the pillow never arrived, the second time I got the same pillow I already had, and the third time I was given a feather pillow that was even flatter than what I already had. - When leaving and waiting for the Lyft we had already ordered, a hotel doorman and his cab driver friend tried telling us we were being scammed by the price charged and tried selling us a ride with the cab driver multiple times after I had declined. I give the hotel staff credit for being friendly and responsive but I honestly didn’t have a good experience at the hotel.

If you’re fortunate enough to visit the Gold Lounge at the Fairmont Copley Plaza, I hope you have the chance to meet Kevin. He completely transformed our family’s experience. From the moment we arrived, Kevin went above and beyond to make us feel genuinely welcome. Traveling with young kids isn’t always easy, but he took it upon himself to bring coloring books and other activities to keep our children entertained, allowing my wife and me to actually relax and enjoy our time together. What stood out most wasn’t just the exceptional service, it was the heart behind it. Coming from the South, we’re used to warm, personal hospitality, and we honestly didn’t expect to find that in the middle of Boston. Kevin proved us wrong. He brought true Southern hospitality to Massachusetts with his kindness, attentiveness, and genuine care for our family. Employees like Kevin are rare. He didn’t just do his job, he created a memorable experience that we’ll talk about long after our trip. Fairmont Copley Plaza is fortunate to have him, and he deserves every bit of recognition for the outstanding service he provides.

We enjoyed a wonderful few days in Boston at the Fairmont Copley Plaza. It’s centrally located and within walking distance of local landmarks, restaurants, and parks. It’s an older building but beautifully decorated and the staff is friendly and professional. We had a small plumbing issue which was attended to immediately. The on site restaurant is lovely and the food is very good. I recommend the chowdah! Best part….Cori, the hotel black lab! She hangs out in the lobby and loves to play ball and get treats. We’re already planning a return trip.

Everyone of the employees must be very special as each were so helpful, knowledgeable and courteous. A real pleasure to be here. Thank you.

The Fairmont was such a wonderful place to stay. From the moment we checked in I felt like an important guest. They were able to get us checked in early so we didn't have to store our luggage. The location is perfect. It's one block from a subway stop and the Logan Express shuttle to and from the airport. The hotel feels so fancy but not pretentious. It is an older hotel so the room wasn't as big but it had everything we needed.
