This hotel is in a great location, on the corner of Newbury Street and Arlington...great shopping and dining. We were able to check in at around 10:30 am, so that was nice. The hotel itself is fine. Our room was a little small and the bathroom was very small. Shower had incredible hot water with heavy pressure, which I like.... More

This was our second stay at the Taj. First you have to remember that once the location of Boston's finest is no longer the Ritz Carlton and they struggle maintain the old expectation. We checked in 2 hours early and our room was not ready but they would put a rush on it. Finally 1 1/2 hours later we were... More

We have stayed here before. Compared to a few years back the place seemed upgraded and improved in many ways. This time we were only here for one night but the stay was perfect. Our view was magnificent and the service here was fabulous. The room was perfectly clean. The staff could not have been nicer and more friendly and... More

My husband & I stayed in for 1 night expecting the same service we received at the Taj in Mumbai & Delhi a few weeks earlier. Not even close. We arrived with bags in hand - no one opened the doors - valet watched us struggle and then when we got to reception we thought a bellboy would come right... More

I have stayed at this hotel seeveral times on business trips varying from a few days to a couple of weeks. This hotel has Boston Bhramin written in it's DNA. Arguably the hotel with the most illustrious history in the city( the likes of Winston Churchill have stayed here), it reeks of old world charm and old time breeding. It... More

This hotel is well located just south of the Boston Common and close to the Back Bay area. The welcome from the desk seemed genuine and friendly and all staff showed a frienly and corteouse manner. Extras such as chocolates every night made it even more special. The room was well furnished and extremely comfortable. Only negataive was the room... More

My husband and I have stayed here many times, both when it was the Ritz and as the Taj, most recently in Nov 2011. The last few times we have stayed there I have said this one will be the last, the rooms are just getting too funky but the outstanding price and location keeps luring us back. I'm from... More

We did a last minute getaway through American Express Fine Hotels and Resorts. We booked a club level room. We were upgraded to a one bedroom suite. The club level had great food preparations and alcoholic beverages were included. I loved the afternoon "tea" service on the club level. It was wonderful to sit and look out over the Public... More

The location of the TAJ is fantastic and the prices are good for views of the pretty Boston public garden. It doesn't compare though when looking at the Mandarin Oriental or Four Seasons (or even some of the smaller new hotels in town). The rooms are definitely showing their age - in our room there was something drawn on the... More
