Copley Square Hotel

Copley Square Hotel stands at 47 Huntington Avenue in Back Bay, a short step from Copley Square, Trinity Church and the Boston Public Library. The Copley MBTA Green Line station and Back Bay station for the Orange Line and commuter rail are both within a few minutes' walk, the Prudential Center is nearby, and Boston Logan International Airport is about twenty minutes by car. The hotel dates to 1891, making it among the oldest continuously operating hotels in the city, and its brick and stone facade reflects the late nineteenth-century architecture of the surrounding district. Interiors have been updated over time, but the compact scale and period character remain. Rooms and suites are smaller than those at newer hotels, as is common in historic buildings, and rates typically run from about $220 to $440 per night, below nearby luxury options. A restaurant on the ground floor serves breakfast and meals, and a fitness center and business center are available. Concierge service and Wi-Fi are provided. The atmosphere is relaxed and traditional, attracting visitors to the library, to Symphony Hall events, and to Boston Marathon weekend, when the finish line sits close by. Newbury Street shopping and the Charles River Esplanade are walkable. The hotel is a good compromise for travelers who want a Back Bay address and historic character without paying the highest prices in the neighborhood. Visitors to Boston, Massachusetts who value location and heritage over spacious rooms will find it a practical option, particularly for stays focused on museums, concerts and walking tours of the Back Bay.
