Fodor's Review:
You're likely to see famous bodies (the hotel won't say who) sweating next to you at the LA Sports Club, the Ritz's mega-fitness center. It's the go-to gym for pop stars are performing in Boston, so you might feel a bit more fabulous -- or a whole lot fatter -- simply by hanging out here. While the hotel gets compared, often unfavorably, to the late, lamented Ritz-Carlton Boston, it's only fair to judge it for what it is: a sleek, contemporary hotel that speaks more to rock stars than royalty. Warm wood walls and trim complement an extensive art collection, dramatic lighting, and fresh flowers and plants. Guest rooms, fitted with luxurious golden spreads and featherbeds, all have separate marble showers and deep tubs. Some rooms have spectacular views of Boston Common. A short walk will get you to Filene's Basement, the Theater District, and Newbury Street. Besides the fitness center, the hotel complex houses a movie theater. Pros: Killer gym, central location. Cons: Lacks the "wow" factor you'd expect from a Ritz property, some say.
