Mandarin Oriental, Boston
Back Bay, Boston, United States

Mandarin Oriental brings a composed, residential quality to busy Boylston Street. Generously proportioned rooms and bathrooms are a particular strength, while the interiors balance contemporary design with understated references to the group’s Asian heritage. Its substantial spa gives it a clear purpose beyond somewhere to sleep between appointments. With Back Bay’s shops and streets outside, this is an appealing base for travellers who want to alternate a full city day with a quieter, carefully arranged retreat.
