"The public spaces are gilded, service is genteel, and the dimly lit, leather-studded bar overlooking the park is still a favorite with Boston Brahmins."

Avoid rooms on the 16th floor, under the roof-deck party space.

"Bought from the Ritz-Carlton in 2007, the Taj Boston holds on to the Ritz' elegant look, but also offers some superb perks, like chenille bathrobes and free rides in the house Jaguar."

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)."
