Property Description

Housed in the stately limestone building that was once home to the Boston Police Headquarters, Loews Boston Hotel is a premier choice among hotels near Copley Square, offering an unforgettable blend of historic charm, sophistication and authentic New England hospitality. The Loews Boston is the gateway between Back Bay, South End and key city attractions, with an exclusive location, close to prestigious colleges and universities The Back Bay mixes business with pleasure, and its buildings battle for attention. Skyscrapers look down on historic churches, city squares and blocks of elegant, sought-after brownstones. The choice of what to do in Boston is just as broad, from theater, fine dining and nightclubs to gyms, spas and the upscale shopping of Newbury and Boylston Streets. The Loews Boston Hotel is truly Boston's badge of hospitality.
