Loews Boston Hotel is located at 154 Berkeley Street in Back Bay, Boston and is in proximity to some great attractions. It’s about a 15-20 minute ride from the airport, a 6-minute walk from the T-subway and a 9-minute walk to Boston Common Park.

One of the staff members described the hotel as a place that isn’t a stuffy or prime busy location in Boston but has enough charm and city-vibes to have a more laid-back city experience. She was right! I loved how the surrounding area felt quieter than other parts of the city. But at the same time there’s so much going on in the surrounding area. As one of the most preserved 10th-century urban design in the United States, Back Bay is known for its rows of Victorian brownstone houses and historical charm. In this area you’ll find the Boston Public Library, the John Hancock Tower, Boston Architectural College, aesthetically-pleasing side streets and a ton of awesome restaurants and bars.

I believe the Loews Boston Hotel sets itself apart from other luxury hotels because of the location and the onsite restaurant. 

You have a truly unique experience getting to stay in the former police headquarters while dining under the stars. The exterior of the hotel is grand and inviting with Loews flags and stairs leading to the outdoor patio on both sides of the entryway. The patio is decorated with white string lights, tables and chairs and lounge areas for mingling once the restaurant opens. On the inside you’ll find a more moody atmosphere with dark accents, historical photos of the hotels past as well as an inviting lobby, common area and stairs leading to the restaurant. 

Overall, the ambiance feels extremely historic, contemporary and professional. I saw families, couples, pets and corporate folks walking about. Especially at night, which made for an interesting and lively atmosphere.
