My wife, son and I stayed at the XV Beacon last week and can't say enough about it. The staff, from the Front Desk to the Concierge, the Valet Parking Attendant, Room Service, etc., they were all exceptionally personable and helpful. The room was one of the most welcoming and comforting rooms I've stayed in. It's a premium priced hotel but so too was our experience. The XV Beacon demonstrated the highest standard of COVID-prevention and safeguards I've seen - yet our stay still felt very boutique and charming. Amazing bed, excellent shower, comfortable couch, chairs and desk and the in-room gas fireplace plus the fixtures, faucets and view were all first-class. The hotel is located in a very safe area, 1 minute from the Boston Common Park, Starbucks, etc. Worth-it.

We had a lot of options for our recent w/end in Boston and settled on the XV. It surpassed our expectations. We had a beautiful suite which had a lot of room and a great bathroom. The in room dining was delicious. The staff were so friendly and helpful, there was nothing they couldn't do. We will return!

We spent the first night of our honeymoon with XV Beacon 16 years ago and returned this year for a staycation since travel is so difficult now. What a wonderful oasis in the heart of the city. Really should not have waited so long to return.

I say "with" instead of "at" because you feel so well cared for, it's not just a property.

What has changed in 16 years? The addition of the roof deck which we enjoyed every day. What's not changed at all? Elegant and gracious service. Beautiful rooms, delightful amenities. Even though we live very close, we got to explore Beacon Hill as visitors, returning each day to be cossetted in luxury.

The room service from Moo was wonderful. Car service is gracious, (thank you Mark!) and particularly helpful during this time.

A deep soaking tub was my favorite part of the suite. Oh wait, maybe it was the bed covered in Frette linens? The bathrobe? No, it was the fireplace. Caviar service in our room! Who could choose?

We arrived a little beaten down by the pandemic. We left refreshed and delighted to rediscover the city we love from a new perspective.
