Modern and hip Back Bay boutique hotel near Boston attractions

Following a top-to-bottom $25 million makeover, the Colonnade sparkles with sleek design and pulsates with a hip vibe. The hotel's prime Back Bay location creates a sublime setting for any business or leisure traveler as it sits across from Hynes Convention Center and steps from shopping at Copley Place and Newberry Street. Sun-goers and foodies alike flock to Boston's only rooftop pool and the chic French bistro Brasserie Jo.

Highlights
  • Prime Back Bay location with recent $25 million dollar renovation
  • Boston's only hotel rooftop pool
  • Authentic French cuisine at Brasserie Jo
  • VIPet Program, including dog walking (fees apply), fluffy beds and food
  • Wi-Fi throughout hotel (fees apply, but free to loyalty members)
Rooms

Sleek, modern and chic with blond wood, chocolate accents and floor-to-ceiling windows that actually open, Colonnade's 285 rooms provide exceptional comfort. Each room features plush Sealy pillow-top mattresses with deluxe bedding, 37-inch flat-panel TV, Keurig gourmet coffee maker and Sharper Image Sound Soother alarm clock with iPod dock. In lieu of a traditional desk, rooms feature a dining-style table. Bathrooms comprise marble vanities, rain showers and Gilchrist and Soames bath products. And don't forget the rubber duck, a Colonnade trademark.

At least one adult 21 years or older must be registered at each room.

 

Features

Centrally located in the Back Bay, the modern and exquisitely decorated Colonnade truly welcomes the most discerning travelers. The sleek lobby acts as a welcome respite from the bustling city with warm hues and pleasant energy. Brasserie Jo, a contemporary French bistro from acclaimed chef Jean Joho, dismisses the stodgy hotel restaurant reputation, while the Roof Top Pool hops both day and night (in season). Guests can work up a sweat in the 1,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art fitness center with expansive views of Boston's South End. Feel free to bring your pets--the hotel has one of the most welcoming pet policies around.

Thoroughly enjoyed our two night

Thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay at Colonnade Hotel Boston. Location was great. Beds so comfortable and service was wonderful. Recommend eating at the Cheesecake Factory across the road - the menu range and food was divine.

Great location and amentities!

The rooms are really comfortable, except for us Southerners who like a/c--it had already been shut off in October and temps were unseasonably warm. However, staff quickly sent up a fan and windows were opened. The subway entrance is on the sidewalk outside, so we rode from the airport for $1.70 each! And, we found Boston's subway to be clean and easy to maneuver. Do not miss the skywalk across the street at the Prudential center and Thornton's Restaurant down the block is the best for breakfast (the only meals we ate there, so other meals are probably great, too!) We had a wonderful time in Boston.

Friendly, clean, affordable!

We were personally greeted as soon as we stepped out of the cab. After a quick check in (our rooms were ready early) [...] took us to our room. He was delightful - answering all of our questions while making us laugh. The location was no more than a quick cab ride away from all the attractions of downtown Boston. This hotel exceeded expectations and was very affordable. I highly recommend it.

Thornton's is a quick walk (not even a full block) from the hotel. They had great breakfast and sandwiches. Very casual and inexpensive.

Lovely hotel with great service

The Colonnade is really centrally located; we did almost everything on foot. Service is great, restaurant(Brasserie Jo) is excellent. Spotless, attractive rooms with good lighting! 46" hi def TV, lots of channels, personnel is knowledgeable and goes the extra mile.

Unbeatable location for the price

I enjoy staying at the Colonnade. It's centrally located in the Copley Square area and convenient to restaurants and shopping. The $38 a day parking fee is one down side of staying in Boston. However, the alternative, a Boston parking ticket and possible tow don't leave you much choice. Thanks Mayor Mennino!!
