"The opening of this ultra-modern hotel in 2002 signaled the gentrification of student-oriented Kenmore Square. French Second Empire decor is combined with hi-tech amenities."

"Old-world charm mixed with modern decor makes this a welcome addition to Boston’s luxury hotel scene, with nice touches like choice linens and L’Occitaine products, as well as the Eastern Standard restaurant."
