A Back Bay landmark since 1912 — the Fairmont Copley Plaza faces directly onto Copley Square, with Trinity Church and the Boston Public Library as its immediate neighbors. Marble columns, gilded ceilings, and grand chandeliers in the lobby; the Oak Long Bar + Kitchen is a Boston institution. 383 rooms including the famously dog-friendly policy (the hotel mascot, Catie Copley, is a resident Labrador Retriever). The classic grand dame hotel that defines old Boston — a different character from anything else on the page.

A Back Bay landmark since 1912, facing directly onto Copley Square with Trinity Church and the Boston Public Library as neighbours. Marble columns, gilded ceilings, and the Oak Long Bar + Kitchen. Famously dog-friendly — the hotel mascot Catie Copley is a resident Labrador.
