Fairmont Copley Plaza
Overview
Fairmont Copley Plaza has been a landmark in Boston's historic Back Bay since 1912. Constructed on the original site of Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, the hotel derives its name from the great American painter John Singleton Copley (1738-1774). The hotel's architect, Henry Janeway Hardenbergh, combined French and Venetian Renaissance influences on the building's facade. Since he also designed The Plaza Hotel in New York, he included a double "P" monogram along the building's exterior, in the ballroom and on doorknobs throughout the hotel.
Inside, gilded, coffered ceilings decorated with trompe l'oeil paintings soar over the grand, 5,000-square-foot lobby and period antiques are displayed throughout, with particular detailing that reinforces Fairmont Copley Plaza's distinctive, refined character. The hotel offers 383 lavish guest rooms, including 17 elegant suites which come complete with antiques and artwork to give each suite an authentic feel of Bean Town. Every room has a modern look, while keeping the downtown hotel’s rich history and Back Bay location in mind. And then there's the lap of Boston luxury: Fairmont Copley Plaza's Fairmont Gold--an exclusive hotel within the hotel located on the entire fourth floor of the building to deliver the highest level of service to the most discerning travelers.
Fairmont Copley Plaza, a charter member of Historic Hotels of America since 1989, dates back to 1912.
Fairmont Copley Plaza and its sister hotel, The Plaza in New York City, share the distinctive double "P" monogram, found throughout both hotels.
