My new home when in Boston

As soon as we walked into the hotel..the clean smell was amazing. The employees go out of their way to make you feel special and answer any questions you have about their city. There are a lot of nice little touches as well...great coffee service in the AM in the lobby followed by hot chocolate/chocolate chip cookie service in the afternoon. The workout room was perfect if you wanted to blow off steam and they even have a cooler full of bottled water for free in the room. The Aveda bath products were also a great touch!

The area is perfect for shopping or browsing the city. The subway is accessible within a block and cheap if you buy a pass...we used the subway to go EVERYWHERE! Can't wait to return..nicest people we have met any place!

• Pros: Great staff and service - perfect location!

Amazing Service and Staff

by soccermom63 at Citysearch

I planned this trip for my husband as a surprise before our first baby comes in January. I work in the Hotel industry and found myself taking notes about how to improve my 4 star property through stealing ideas from the staff of the Lenox.

Upon arrival, valet was prompt, quick and informational. Led us into the front desk for our check in. The front desk staff answered all of my questions, pointed me to great restaurants, shopping ect. Asked if I needed anything special and why I was visiting Boston. I felt like family! We walked into our room and immediately, the phone was ringing to see if "everything was to our liking". I had prearranged for sparkingling cidar and chocolate covered strawberries to be delievered and they were waiting for us!

The room was a handicapp accessible room (which we didn't need) but enjoyed the space! The view...there wasn't one, but that was not on our list of important details. The bathroom was VERY spacious and clean. The only little problem...the sink counter space is way to small to put any of your toiletries on. If that's all I have to complain about, then it was a perfect stay.

The conceirge knows his stuff and doesn't hesitate to reccommend places to eat, shop ect. Also, the manager on duty in the lobby greets EVERYONE with personal contact of a hello, nod, smile or a question about their stay.

Perfect location for the Hotel, as we walked all over the city. Close to Newbury, Fenway, and if you're up to is, Faneuill Hall. I would absolutely go back to this hotel!!

• Pros: Great location

Charming with great location

by Grogger31 at Citysearch

My wife and I stayed at the Lenox for one night for our anniversary. We know Boston well and wanted to try it for its great location. We were very pleasantly surprised. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The hotel, while older, is very clean and comfortable ... and the location is as good as it gets. Our room was fairly small but comfortable with a small bathroom but nice shower. Flat screen TV and wireless internet were nice touches.

• Pros: Great staff, unbeatable location, comfortable
• Cons: Pricey, but not unreasonable for the area

Great place for a wedding

by tulip6 at Citysearch

I got married at The Lenox last fall and feel the need to rave about my experience.

Everything was great and beautifully decorated.

The coordinator, KrisTina, was awesome as well as all the other staff that particpated from the bellman to the man at the front desk, the servers, coordinator...everyone!

The food and service was EXCELLENT. Everything truly exceeded my expections. The wedding suite was gorgeous.

I am still hearing raves from friends and family who attended. A lot of out of town guests stayed at the hotel and all agreed that it was well worth what you pay.

The Lenox is located in a great part of Back Bay near shopping and restaurants and has several on sight bars that were great as well.

• Pros: Great staff

Exceeded my expectations - fabulous charming hotel in Boston's Back Bay!

by lingwhit at Citysearch

I recently stayed at the Lenox Hotel in Boston and I have to say that the stay far exceeded my expectations! The lobby was recently renovated and was absolutely stunning - from the moment I arrived the staff was friendly and helpful. The guest room was much larger than expected and looked newly renovated - and to my surprise I had a working fireplace that was quite romantic! Located in Back Bay the hotel is near Newbury Street and the Copley Place mall, plenty of shopping opportunity and lots of restaurants to choose from - although we did have dinner in Azure and it was probably one of the best meals I've ever had! Every level and aspect of our stay was perfect and I've already recommended to several family members and friends!

• Pros: Great location, spacious room, awesome staff!
• Cons: Parking expensive (like everywhere in the city!)
