Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Originally built in 1912, The Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel looks and feels like a grand castle, right down to its stone façade guarded by two golden lions. The interior is elegant with long hallways and large common areas under coffered ceilings, gold-painted moldings, crystal chandeliers, and French antiques. The typical clientele includes business and leisure travelers, celebrities, and U.S. presidents.
Amenity highlights: The four dining and beverage options range from casual to formal, from New England oysters to award-winning steak, and include a lounge known for its martinis. The fitness room offers everything from security cameras to the latest cardiovascular equipment and weight-training machines. Yoga, aerobics classes, and spa treatments are offered at the women’s health club next door. Discount passes for the club are available at the front desk.
Insider tip: Boston’s free summer concert series takes place across the street in Copley Plaza. For art lovers, the South End Open Studios—in which Boston’s painters, sculptors, and photographers invite the public in for a show and sale of their work—is a favorite event each September. Hotel guests are within four blocks of the lofts and studios of this popular event.

Dining
The Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel offers 21,000 square feet of meeting and event space with a grand ballroom that can accommodate a maximum of 1,000 guests. The Oak Room, Wine Room, and Singleton Room are small, popular spaces intended for more intimate gatherings, such as business breakfasts and wedding luncheons.
The Oak Room - This restaurant offers a traditional steakhouse menu with a selection of fish entrees. Seating is arranged to impart a sense of privacy. The room features crystal chandeliers and 30-foot-high, vaulted ceilings with detailed plasterwork. The walls contain a variety of big-game taxidermy trophies, giving this place a hunting-lodge ambience in a ballroom setting. The restaurant is open for dinner only and reservations are highly recommended.
The Oak Bar - Especially popular Thursday–Saturday evenings, this romantic spot is reminiscent of a British officers’ club from the Orient in the 1890s. Dark-wood paneling and a gilded, coffered ceiling surround the tables. The bar has a wide selection of unusual martinis, including the so-called engaging Martini, which is served with a $10,000 diamond.
Copley’s Grand Café - An elegant room with huge windows that overlook Copley Plaza and the historic Trinity Church. Open for breakfast and lunch with a menu of New England dishes, including Maine lobster rolls and baked Boston scrod. Sunday brunch is also very popular among guests and locals alike.
Copley’s Bar - This intimate, wood-paneled bar with comfortable seating is adjacent to the Grand Café. The lounge serves a variety of cocktails, a light menu of soups and sandwiches, and is known as a meeting spot after a day of shopping or business.
24-hour room service is also available.
