The Newbury Hotel, Boston
More photosExpert reviews
“Stylish art types flock to this property for long-weekend stays at a newly restored historic property with a high-end, lived-in feel; think curated walls of art featuring works and homages to some of America’s most iconic creators, from a portrait of Ernest Hemingway beside the lobby bar to Elise Ansel paintings throughout the property.”
Featured in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2022 Hotlist.
“Across from Boston Public Garden and surrounded by upscale boutiques, The Newbury Boston’s address comes with a rich history: the 1927 building’s first tenant was one of the country’s first Ritz-Carlton outposts.”

All you need to know
Elegantly adorned boutique rooms and a striking rooftop bar featuring the picture-perfect vistas of the historical Boston Public Garden.
The charm of The Newbury Boston lies in its vivid boutique-style rooms overlooking the Back Bay’s brownstones and Boston Public Garden. These scenic vistas will surely leave you stunned for a while. Other attractions of this hotel include the two fascinating dining options locals literally drool over.
It won’t be wrong to mention this hotel is heaven for art enthusiasts, as it features curated walls of art depicting stunning artwork and paying homage to famed America’s iconic creators.
The 286 rooms of this beautiful hotel include expansive 90 suits boasting wood-burning fireplaces and featuring scenic views of the downtown skyline across the park. Starting from $564 per night, all rooms are about 500 square feet; this counts for an impressive space, folks!
If you want to spend time close to nature, book the lower floor Grand Suite. Although Arlington Street is rushy, the rooms are tucked away from the street side so that you don’t even hear a single peep at night!
When staying at The Newbury Boston, don’t skip dining at the rooftop restaurant Contessa. It’s where you can dive into the goodness of the world’s yummiest ever Northern Italian dishes and mouth-watering desserts. Pair your meal with the aperitivo martinis to enjoy it to the fullest!
The quick and friendly hotel service will surely tempt you to return. Just ask for an ice bucket or order breakfast to experience the hotel’s famed white-tablecloth service when enjoying picturesque views.
If you love reading, explore the diversity of titles at the hidden-back room library.
Conclusively, The Newbury Boston is the best bet for art and nature enthusiasts. It’s where calmness, elegance, and lavishness meet to make your experience worth memorable!

Best Hotel in the Best Part of Town!
Spotless 5 star property right on Newbury. Close to the best parts of Boston. Large spacious rooms. Fun vibe for food and drinks in the Street Bar. Home away from home when visiting Boston.

CN Traveler + 1 more“For truly opulent yet thoughtful digs in a just-renovated historic site that offers as much style as it does comfort; think local art in all 312 rooms, not-so-mini bars stocked with Massachusetts-sourced goodies, 17 suites with heated bathroom floors, and chic dining (and imbibing) options that have long attracted locals.”
