The Newbury Boston
Our Readers' Favorite Boston Hotels of 2023
"Sitting at the intersection of Newbury and Arlington, I describe this storied hotel as a layered piece of Boston history — it opened as the world's first Ritz-Carlton in 1927, became a Taj Hotel in 2007, and after a total redesign reopened in 2021 as a Highgate property. Readers praised the transformation as “an amazing transformation of a legacy building” and “a lovely renovation. Happy it’s back to its former glory!” The sophisticated refresh feels comfortable and inviting; some suites even have wood-burning fireplaces for cozy winter views of the Boston Public Garden, and guests repeatedly praised the Italian food at the hotel's rooftop Contessa restaurant." - Elizabeth Cantrell Elizabeth Cantrell Elizabeth Cantrell is a senior editor at Travel + Leisure.
