Hotel AKA Back Bay

An Insider's Take
'This sophisticated boutique gem puts you in the heart of Boston's most elegant neighborhood, where Victorian brownstones meet modern luxury.' What's Special? Hotel AKA Back Bay occupies a prime spot on prestigious Newbury Street, Boston's answer to Fifth Avenue. The hotel's sleek design contrasts beautifully with the historic Back Bay architecture, and you're literally steps from the Boston Public Library's stunning McKim Building and Copley Square's Trinity Church - both architectural masterpieces.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a room facing Newbury Street for prime people-watching and easy access to the best shopping and dining. The hotel's location means you can walk to Fenway Park, the Freedom Trail, and the Charles River Esplanade.
Don't Miss Take the elevator to the top floor for stunning city views, then stroll down Newbury Street for world-class shopping and sidewalk cafes. The nearby Boston Public Garden with its famous Swan Boats is just two blocks away, and you're perfectly positioned to explore both the historic charm of Beacon Hill and the modern energy of the South End.
