"At Boston’s storied Fairmont Copley Plaza, wedding guests might just spot a furry witness at the altar. Long known for its resident Canine Ambassadors, the hotel now offers “The Pawfect Union” package, allowing couples to have their own pup—or the Fairmont’s beloved black Lab, Cori Copley—serve as a ceremonial witness to their vows. Packages include pre-wedding spa treatments, custom floral collars, a photo session, and even a ceremonial marriage certificate for your dog to “paw-tograph.” It’s a luxurious way to honor both your love story and your four-legged family member—no legal paperwork required." - Lilah Ramzi
"A Boston landmark for over a century, Fairmont Copley Plaza impressed me with its grand architecture and rich history; inside the 383 rooms I noticed high-end furnishings and windows overlooking the Boston Public Library and Trinity Church, and the on-site Oak Long Bar + Kitchen is a must for its American cuisine and standout brunch. The hotel's central location can make the area near the entrance busy." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.

"The Oak Room is a staple in the Back Bay. It's newly renovated aesthetic represent the new Boston; vintage inspiration and modern relevance. The bar is massive and the crowd is a mix of younger and older. They have great craft cocktails and farm to table food. Our favorite is their brunch." - Amalgam
"There are few façades in Boston more iconic than the Fairmont, which has stood next to the Boston Public Library since 1912. Still, the hotel has managed to keep the guest rooms updated. There are the elegant fabrics and marble you'd expect, as well as some custom black-and-white sketches of Boston that add a modern touch. Make sure to ask for a room overlooking Copley Square so you can gaze out upon one of the best views in the city while enjoying one of the incredible breakfast options on the decadent room service menu." - Shannon McMahon, Todd Plummer
"I ate doughnuts that are cut and fried on-site and then hung on a rack to drip vanilla glaze; made from a traditional Amish recipe, they’re like extra-heavenly Krispy Kremes—weighty but not dense, with a marshmallowy texture that melts in your mouth. The dough is yeasty and not too sweet, which makes the thin glaze all the more tantalizing. Peachey’s also offers a dressed-up doughnut topped with vanilla custard, peanut butter crumbles, and whipped cream." - Justine Jones
