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.

"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."
