    Beautiful, stylish boutique hotel in Beacon Hill, definitely worth a visit.

    • Family with young children
    • Classic King Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    There was very little we didn’t like, except for the food smell that greeted us everytime we entered the reception, this was due to the integration of the restaurant into the main lobby/reception/ground floor of the hotel. Maybe a better extraction system could be installed?

    This is a beautiful stylish boutique hotel in Beacon Hill, Charles Street. Beautiful location and it felt very special following its expandation and renovation of the previous John Jefferies House. It was very comfortable and the attention to detail in the rooms, was very nice. There is an outside courtyard, whilst it was small, it was a bit of a haven in the city!

    My husband and I each had a glass of wine at the bar. We both chose wines from the Loire Valley. I didn't think either the red or white met the expectations of that region of France.

    The room was very clean and quiet. The lobby smelled wonderful. The bed was very comfortable. The toiletries were really nice. The location was perfect for this trip.

    Bathroom window not frosted or having a screen therefore needed to pull down the blind to use as it looked directly out on to busy traffic junction. In room dining limited choice. No fridge in room.

    Room was great & bed was very comfortable but the view was of multi lane highways, plural. Couldn’t open any windows due to proximity of roads and I’m quite sure that the drivers at the traffic lights could watch me (if they wanted to!) sitting on the loo

    For the price we paid, room was a bit small, they are making the most of the space they have and for one night would have been fine but we were there for 3 nights so it felt a bit squished

    Excellent location, spotlessly clean, attention to detail, welcoming helpful staff, an all round great place to stay.

    Nothing really. A little offputting that late checkout or early checkin by just a bit is $75. You get a menu of extras before you even check in, which feels overpriced, but I get it. Hotel is lovely overall.

    The location is great, and the hotel is quite elegant. I'm not sure it fits my perception of a 5-star hotel, but it actually offered a very competitive rate by Boston's standards, and it was definitely more pleasant than a big-chain hotel.

    My only very small gripe was that the towels provided were very small (not sure if this is usual for US hotels?) and the bathroom was missing a magnifying mirror. Otherwise, no complaints!

    We had a wonderful stay at the Whitney. The hotel is very stylish, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the bed was really comfortable. The location was great, just across the road from the train station and situated in the lovely Beacon Hill neighbourhood, with lots of lovely eateries and boutiques on Charles Street. Boston Common was just a short walk, and the whole city was within easy access.
