Lonely Planet Review

Kim Grant

An elegant convergence of Old Boston charm and cutting-edge convenience, the Buckminster will pamper you so richly they'll have you convinced that you're royalty. Euro-style rooms and suites are quite roomy, with posh furnishings and all the tools and toys of comfort and convenience.
If you're here on business, you'll have all the latest work-space gadgetry to get the job done, including an in-room fridge and microwave. Why not reward yourself with a double-martini lunch any time of day? Coin laundry and full kitchen facilities are available on all six floors. Pleasure seekers start the day with a complimentary full breakfast and then hit the town. Designed by the same architect who designed the Boston Public Library and many elegant Back Bay townhouses on Beacon Street, the Buckminster offers nearly 100 sumptuous rooms and 24 spacious apartment suites that are filled with authentic touches of another era. A stay at the Buckminster is a captivating experience.
