A well-crafted life, a century in the making. Explore a beautifully restored and reimagined luxury hotel at the intersection of Newbury and Arlington Streets, where the bustle of the Back Bay is your playground and the idyllic Boston Public Garden your front yard. We’ve been a beloved landmark, a distinctive symbol of Boston’s rich history, a place of gathering, and now—a striking homage to the neighborhood we call home.

What an experience. All phases of planning and details covered from beginning to end. Mille Grazie. Attention to detail for sure. Our Corner Park View Suite was awesome. The view was priceless. Look at the pictures. Steps across the street from the Public Garden, The Common and on Newbury Street. Our engagement, sleeping over in downtown Boston , dinner and breakfast at Contessa was out of this world. The entire Staff treated us like royalty. The view blew us away. Dinner and breakfast at Contessa was next level. Thank you for making our engagement day/weekend perfection.

The Street Bar at The Newbury Hotel is exactly what my husband, daughter and I were looking for!! It’s beautiful, quaint, cozy and historic. Our server, Conch made our experience top notch. She was attentive and very personable. She’s a 10 out of 10! Highly recommend!

Outstanding hotel in perfect location. Every detail was thought of from beautifully appointed bathroom, gorgeous spacious room and view. Favorite hotel in Boston. If you stayed here when it was the Taj, try again, the Newbury is so much better!

My wife and I couldn’t have been happier with our stay. We were celebrating our birthdays—just one day apart—and were surprised with a bottle of champagne and a cake waiting for us in our room! We hadn’t been able to get a reservation at Contessa, so we contacted The Newbury to see if they could help. Within an hour, we had a reservation at a beautiful table at exactly the time we requested. The service throughout the hotel was exceptional—every staff member we interacted with was friendly and helpful. A special shout-out to the young woman at the downstairs bar; she was fantastic, and the cocktails were perfect. We’ve decided to make this an annual tradition for our birthdays. Thank you for everything!

Disappointing and not worth the money. Street bar was ok but hard to get a seat. Hotel was more focussed on weddings rather than other guests. Contessa restaurant was pretentious and staff did not care. More interested in their iPads and talking to other staff members than guests. Could not get breakfast. It was brunch even at 7 am. We had to go outside hotel to get a breakfast which was ridiculous. They said they could cook eggs but not an omelette! Personally I would go elsewhere if staying a weekend.
