XV Beacon

Travel & Leisure named Fifteen Beacon the No. 1 hotel in Boston, a title that won't surprise anyone who's spent a night at the intimate luxury property. Housed in a beaux-arts building dating from 1903, fusing classic style and service with an edgy contemporary sensibility, the hip 60-room hotel holds countless rewards for business and incentive travelers.

Sleek suites and guest rooms feature gas fireplaces, LCD TVs, and CD libraries as well as color printers and fax machines. Although most corporate groups attend conventions outside the hotel, meeting planners have special access to Fifteen Beacon's Wine Cellar, a quirky New England-style venue offering cutting-edge audiovisual equipment and accommodating up to 75 participants, and private dining at the fashionable steak house Mooo.... Chauffeured Lexus sedans transport guests to their engagements elsewhere in town.
