Our Inspector's Highlights

  • The design at the Back Bay hotel is warm and inviting with antique crystal chandeliers, jewel tones and a sculptural lobby staircase.
  • Tucked among luxury mainstays like Chanel, Cartier and Hermès, The Newbury sits on one of the most fashionable streets in Boston.
  • You have to visit Contessa for the lovely panoramas from the 17th-floor glass-enclosed rooftop terrace (designed by Bostonian Ken Fulk) and the food that pays homage to the city’s Italian-American roots.
  • The hotel brought back a local favorite, The Street Bar. Go there for comforting New England classics like burgers, fries, lobster chowder and pot pie.
  • With indigo walls, a roaring fireplace and a collection of books curated by the Boston Public Library, The Newbury’s guests-only Library will make you want to cozy up with a read.
