Large rooms with gorgeous views, a central location, and scores of tourists and shoppers make the Copley Marriot one of Boston's most popular hotels. With panoramic views of the Back Bay, Boston Harbor, and the Charles River, and an extensive list of amenities (wireless Internet, a sushi bar, Italian restaurant, ballrooms, health club, etc.), the Marriott is one of the nicer places to stay in Boston. The drawbacks, however, are the hotel's location smack dab in the middle of Copley Mall, making pedestrian traffic through the lobby a pain, and the somewhat drab, chain-hotel feel to the hallways and common areas. Commencement reservations accepted 1 year in advance. Rates fluctuate anywhere from $200-450+; commencement rates usually hover around $300-400. Very limited valet parking ($32/day).
