"A striking 61‑story triangular tower that altered the Back Bay skyline, this modern Four Seasons offers hushed, discreet luxury—high‑ceilinged rooms with panoramic windows, intuitive service, and a thoughtful art program that ties the city’s past to contemporary practice (notable pieces include a Yinka Shonibare installation of immigrant‑authored books, Tacita Dean cloud portraits, and a Duke Riley mosaic referencing the Great Molasses Flood). The hotel emphasizes refined, adaptive hospitality (staff who managed continuity through the pandemic) and hosts an intimate bar that serves formal afternoon tea and subdued evening small plates and cocktails crafted to reflect the city’s cultural life." - Claire Messud Claire Messud Claire Messud is an award-winning author best known for her New York Times best-selling novel, “The Emperor's Children.” She has taught writing courses at Harvard and Yale and contributed to publications including The Wall Street Journal, Harper's Magazine, The Guardian, and Travel + Leisure.
