There’s no such thing as a second-tier guest at XV Beacon; everyone is treated like a VIP. The service is suitably extravagant, with over-the-top amenities like complimentary Lexus sedan service to shuttle you around town as you please. Featuring an old-fashioned cage elevator and brass details, the interior oozes Old Boston style. Every guest room has a poster bed, its own fireplace—a priceless amenity in the dead of winter—and Fresh toiletries; flowers greet you in your room. Come dinnertime, one of the city’s top steakhouses, Mooo, is downstairs; its wine cellar is one of the most coveted private dining spaces in town. The hotel’s stylishly dressed doormen are some of the city’s friendliest and most knowledgable, so be sure to get their tips for where to dine or shop.
