[sw1]

Dates are 1/23-1/24, secret hot rate $167, has $407 as normal rate, 80% recommended, tripadvisor 4.5 out of 5.0. Hoping this is the Mandarin but also a possibility it may be the Fairmont Copley Plaza. Amenities listed  smoke-free rooms, fitness center, restaurant(s), business center, internet access. Accessibility: Accessible for visually impaired. accessible for hearing impaired, accessible path of travel, and in-room accessibility. Any help is appreciated, was trying to book the Mandarin Oriental for an anniversary night. Thx!

Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

Congrats on your anniversary! 

 

This listing has not yet been ID'd/reported to the board, but I'd guess the Fairmont Copley may have been upgraded to 5*.

 

Please keep us updated with what you decide and let us know if you have additional questions.

Thank you! I hesitated and did not purchase yet. My wife s not a fan of the "old world charm" type of hotels such as the Fairmount Copley. She likes more modern/contemporary types of properties and the Mandarin has been on our wish list (usually $500+/nt). We've already stayed at the Marriott, Sheraton, and Copley Sq Hotel in that area. BTW, not sure where this might be helpful to post, but at the Copley Sq Hotel, the rooms are indeed small. Stayed there one night by myself for business and it was tight even for just me. However, downstairs, (you enter around the corner) is a club/lounge called Storytime. No door charge and has always been a good time each time I've been there (drinks & dancing).

Thank you for the note regarding the hotel and more about what you are looking for. Would the Mondrian be the only hotel of interest? If other hotels are acceptable, what would be your desired budget per night? We would be happy to offer other suggestions along the same lines of what you're looking for.

... or any interest in what appears to be the InterContinental in the Beacon Hill zone? At $168/nite and with very good reviews this would seem to offer a very good value.

Also, if budget isn't too much of an issue, i'm seeing what appears to be the Fifteen Beacon on PRICELINE EXPRESS for $336/nite.

Yes, InterContinental would also be perfect. I was somewhat confused on that on as in the amenities the one that says "spa" is usually it, but it no longer has a Quincy Market area. Rezoned as Beacon Hill?

[thereuare]

I can't say if/when the zone boundaries in this zone have changed, but currently the InterContinental Boston is within the Beacon Hill-Downtown Boston zone. We update the Hotel List as we learn of any zone changes (either new zones added or a change in boundaries) and that list currently shows the InterContinental in the Beacon Hill zone (i'll also warn that it's dangerous to rely on one amenity, such as a Spa, to identify the hotel... always use all the amenities and any other information that is provided for increased confidence in your guess)

Here is the full amenity set for the 5* hotel i'm seeing in the Beacon Hill zone that i'm guessing to be the InterContinental:

Pet Friendly

Indoor Pool

Smoke Free

Fitness

Pool

Restaurant

Business

Hi-Speed Internet

Spa

Blind Accessible

Deaf Accessible

Travel Accessible

Room Accessible

Bathroom Accessible

Handicapped Parking

Roll-in Shower

... and should my guess be wrong, this hotel also shows a 4.5/5.0 TA rating, so that is your 'safety net' that it should still be a very nice experience even if some other hotel.
