Fodor's Review:
Jeans-clad billionaires and assorted business types cluster in the glossy lobby of the Four Seasons, while TV anchorfolk diss the competition over 'tinis and Bristol Burgers in the Bristol Lounge. (Visiting celebs are whisked to the 2,000-square-foot, $6,000-per-night Presidential Suite -- no waiting in the lobby for them!) Thanks to a recent face-lift, the Four Seasons retains its perch as Boston's go-to hotel for luxury with a soupçon of hip. Designers resisted the trend of soothing taupe for bright shots of citron and apricot in public spaces; guest rooms sport black-and-cream toile with gold and lemon accents, large bay windows, and oversize work areas. Luxury amenities include DVD players, 42-inch plasma TVs, and L'Occitane toiletries. (Celebrities stash the full-size soaps in their luggage, we're told.) Even if you spring for the basic city-view room (as low as $295 on weekends in January and February), you can enjoy fab views of the Public Garden from the pool and whirlpool on the eighth floor, or from Aujourd'hui, the hotel's top-rated contemporary French restaurant, or the Bristol Lounge. Pros: Great location, overlooking the Public Garden and a short walk to Newbury Street shops and the Theater District; Mercedes courtesy car makes short trips around town; excellent gym. Cons: Front entrance can get busy (you might have to wait for your valet-parked car), restaurants are pricey.

Fantastic staff make for a great hotel

Decor isn't exactly full of character but the fantastic staff and service, and the excellent room, helped make my stay there great.
