"Situated on one of Boston’s most picturesque corners directly across from the Public Garden, the Newbury Boston opened in May 2021 after a two-year renovation. Its 286 rooms include a whopping 90 suites, some with wood-burning fireplaces (birch logs provided) and views of the downtown skyline across the park. In-the-know Bostonians flock to the rooftop restaurant Contessa, which still books up weeks in advance. Meanwhile, stylish art types come here for the curated walls of art featuring works and homages to some of America’s most iconic creators, from a portrait of Ernest Hemingway by Yousuf Karsh beside the lobby bar to paintings from artists such as Elise Ansel throughout the property. Rooms from $600. —Shannon McMahon" - Shannon McMahon, Todd Plummer
