XV Beacon - Boston

In a leafy area of Boston’s city centre, XV Beacon is known for providing understated luxury – popular with discerning repeat guests. Combining landmark Beaux Arts architecture with modern opulence, highlights include ultra-stylish accommodation with fireplaces, cashmere throws and custom XV toiletries, plus a fine dining restaurant serving everything from oysters to Wagyu beef.

Located opposite the Boston Athenaeum – one of the oldest independent libraries in the USA, and less than 200 metres from Boston Common – the oldest city park in the USA, the hotel is in a prime position for exploring some of the city’s most iconic sights. Boston’s Freedom Trail, a collection of museums, churches, parks and even a ship, can be explored in under a mile’s stroll and the golden domes of Massachusetts State House is roughly 100 metres from the hotel. Boston Logan International Airport is just under three miles’ distance.

With just seven rooms to a floor, accessible by original glass cage lifts, this hotel exudes exclusivity. Luxury accommodation features taupe and latte tones, cashmere throws and even gas fireplaces – which can be turned off from the comfort of your Frette-linen dressed bed. Italian marble bathrooms are stocked with custom toiletries, as well as heated towel racks and oversized rainfall shower heads. In place of ‘do not disturb’ signs, a dial by the doorway can easily be set to ‘privacy’. Executive Classic rooms sport queen-size four-poster beds, while Beacon Hill Studios are larger, with a seating area before the fireplace and views of Beacon Street. In the latter option, bathrooms also boast a rainfall shower and whirlpool tub combination.
