Fodor's Expert Review
Once the headquarters of the Boston Police Department in the early 20th century, the Loews Boston Hotel exudes hip history with 21st-century amenities. Located in Back Bay right on the cusp of the South End, the hotel is close to Copley Square and some of the city's biggest attractions. The Loews is big with business travelers, who you'll spot jetting across the street to the Liberty Mutual headquarters and John Hancock Tower.
