Hotel Commonwealth Review

Hotel Commonwealth
$$$-$$$$, Kenmore Square
Fodor's Review:
The Hotel Commonwealth is anything but common, blending old-world charm with modern conveniences for a sophisticated, boutiquey feel. Rich color schemes enhance the elegant rooms, and king- or queen-size beds are piled with down pillows and Italian linens. Choose rooms with views of bustling Commonwealth Avenue or Fenway Park. All rooms have marble baths and floor-to-ceiling windows. The much-acclaimed seafood restaurant, Great Bay, makes you feel like you're sitting by the ocean, with diffused lighting, a sandy color scheme, and a vast, shiplike room. Pros: Luscious bedding and bath products; great service; Red Sox fans will love the views of Fenway Park from some of the rooms (request these when booking); on-site restaurant is one of the best in the city for fresh fish. Cons: Hotel and surroundings can be mobbed during a Red Sox game.

Amazing Small Hotel
Posted by Georgiagrl22 from Southampton, PA on 2/10/08
My daughter and I were in Boston for 3 days and stayed at this elegant hotel. From the moment we arrived everyone was absolutely kind, helpful and so very very pleasant. The room was magnificent and sparkling clean. the help just could not do enough for you and so very very polite. It cost a few dollars more, but worth every penny, believe me I am fussy. Feel like a kind and queen for a day or two. you deserve it!!!!Best Bed in Boston

I've been coming here since our daughter started at Boston Univ. It gets better each time! It isn't cheap, but the rooms are incredibly luxurious, and the service is impecable without being stuffy. I prefer the Fenway view, and you can walk to the ballpark in about two minutes. There is a T stop right below the hotel, and the restaurants are great. The hotel has a limo that can drop you off around Boston if you ask in advancd.
