The Fairmont Copley Plaza’s signature red awnings connote the classic and confident style of this hotel – after all, it’s been in business since 1912 and is hardly subject to the trend du jour. Inspired by Boston’s fashionable Back Bay, the guest rooms are meant to make you feel as though you were renting a townhouse. Featuring a navy and scarlet color scheme with cathedral ceilings, decorative fireplaces and custom furnishings, these rooms promote easy relaxation in a lush atmosphere. The hotel’s “canine ambassador program” features Catie Copley, a black Labrador retriever that provides love and companionship to hotel guests who miss their own four-legged friends. Catie will stroll or run with you on a one-of-a-kind tour of the city, hitting sites along the way like Beacon Hill and Newbury Street. You can also follow the Freedom Trail to a number of sites that play an important role in the colonies’ struggle for freedom.
