The city of Boston is a living open-air museum rich in cultural heritage. Set along the most western point of Massachusetts Bay, Boston is surprisingly compact, with many impressive landmarks accessible by foot. Along the picturesque Freedom Trail, U.S. history unfolds before your eyes with stops on Beacon Hill and the site of the Boston Massacre. Boston's refined way of life offers a world-class symphony orchestra, shopping along Newbury Street, spectacular theaters, galleries and gastronomical delights in superb surroundings. An 18-hole golf course exists in Brookline, miles of jogging and walking trails are close to the hotel, court sports can be arranged with the concierge and the hotel can also assist in securing tickets to sporting events and a variety of cultural activities.

The Fairmont Copley Plaza is located in the heart of Boston's historic Back Bay, steps away from historic Beacon Hill, the Charles River Esplanade, Copley Place, the boutiques of Newbury Street and the Hynes Convention Center. The Boston airport is a five-mile drive.

Try fashionable Newbury Street, the Rodeo Drive of Boston, located just one block from the hotel, host to Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Burberry's, Versace and Kenneth Cole. Or explore historic Quincy Market and Faneuil Hall Marketplace. You'll find unique Boston offerings in both food and merchandise with more than 50 shops and 100 food and beverage options (everything from quick-service eateries to full-service, fine-dining restaurants). Street musicians and cart vendors provide extra flavor. Directly across the street from the hotel is the Copley Place shopping mall. Or head to the 75 retail outlets found at the Prudential Center, within walking distance from the Fairmont Copley Plaza.  A 45-minute drive takes you to Wrentham Village Premium Outlets, a premier outdoor shopping mall with 170 outlet stores.
