XV Beacon Hotel
15 Beacon St., Boston, MA 02108
Why We Like It
The XV Beacon has amenities galore, ranging from complimentary overnight shoe shines to custom 400 thread count Frette linens. However, prices certainly do reflect the hotel's embrace of all things luxury.
Fodor's Expert Review
Located in Boston's Beacon Hill neighborhood, the XV Beacon is a true taste of luxury in a boutique hotel. The 1903 Beaux Arts exterior is an architectural beauty, while the intimate lobby is all black mahogany with bold splashes of red.
Tip If you're in town over the July 4 holiday, head to the hotel's roof deck (open from April through October) for an incredible view of the fireworks.
