Forbes Travel Guide, renowned for its exclusive global rating system that evaluates luxury hotels, restaurants, spas, and ocean cruises, has unveiled its 2024 Star Award recipients. Among them, Four Seasons Hotel Boston shines brightly, securing the top-tier Five-Star rating once again. Celebrated as “an exquisite Boston classic” by Forbes Travel Guide, this hotel has maintained its position as the city’s longest-standing Five-Star establishment. Remarkably, this year marks the 25th successive year that Four Seasons Hotel Boston has earned this distinguished accolade, acknowledging its commitment to outstanding personalized service and seamless luxury.

Strategically situated with enviable views of the Public Garden and the adjacent Boston Common, the hotel serves as an ideal starting point for guests eager to discover the rich historical tapestry, captivating attractions, and architectural splendor of America’s most pedestrian-friendly city. The hotel boasts 273 elegantly furnished guest rooms, including 77 spacious suites, an indoor pool, and breathtaking event spaces bathed in natural light with views of the garden, reinforcing its status as a pinnacle of luxury in Boston.

Following a sophisticated revamp of its communal areas, accomplished by the esteemed designer Ken Fulk, the hotel now features a series of cozy social spots and a stylish new restaurant and lounge. These spaces, inspired by the elegant townhouses in the surrounding area, exude charm and a timeless elegance. Enhancements unique to the Four Seasons Hotel Boston include a magical toy closet for children, accessible with a special golden key, a complimentary gourmet coffee bar for morning refreshments, and the signature Vaults—personal refreshment pantries on each floor offering free snacks and drinks around the clock.

Michael Pedder, the General Manager, expressed his gratitude, attributing this 25th consecutive Five-Star award to the unwavering dedication of his team towards providing guests with memorable experiences. “I’m privileged to collaborate with such devoted professionals who, through both grand and simple acts of kindness, make the extraordinary a reality every day,” he stated.

The Forbes Travel Guide star ratings are determined by anonymous professional inspectors who rigorously evaluate establishments against 900 stringent criteria, focusing primarily on the quality of service.
