Frommer's Highly Recommended

This 38-story tower offers something for everyone -- complete business facilities, a good-size pool, and direct access to Boston's shopping wonderland. It's extremely popular with convention and meeting planners and is the hotel component of countless package deals. The contemporary-style guest rooms are large enough to hold two armchairs or an armchair and an ottoman; renovated in 2006, they have the chain's signature Revive bedding and down comforters. As at the Back Bay's other sky-high lodgings, ask for the highest possible floor and you'll enjoy excellent views. Besides booking hordes of vacationers, this Marriott and the Sheraton Boston are New England's biggest convention hotels; the Sheraton has a better pool, but both are reliable and comfortable enough that you can't go wrong by letting price and frequent-traveler points distinguish between them. Amenities: Restaurant (American); heated indoor pool; well-equipped health club; Jacuzzi; sauna; game room; concierge; tour desk; car-rental desk; airport shuttle; full-service business center; 24-hr. room service; massage; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; concierge-level rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility.
