"The W is a favorite with regular guests -- mostly corporate travelers drawn to the go-go public spaces and serene accommodations -- who seek out the boutique chain."

Ask to be as high as possible to avoid the chattering scene in the lobby and the traffic that buzzes through the Theater District well into the night.

"Inside, the nature-inspired decor is modern through and through, with typical W brand touches like a sleek, sceney lobby lounge (complete with falling water display and open fireplace)."

"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."
Rough Guide
"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."
