The best way to book Four Seasons Hotel Boston is through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner travel advisor.
A Preferred Partner booking adds daily breakfast for two, a $100 hotel credit ($200 in suites), a room upgrade when available and VIP recognition.
Preferred Partner rates equal the official direct booking rate on the Four Seasons website. We don't charge any booking fees, so you get the benefits for free.

The program benefits are the same at every hotel. What changes is what they are worth. This is how each one works at this property.
Full breakfast for two per bedroom at Aujourd'hui, or through in-room dining. Breakfast is à la carte, with no buffet, and reviewers single out the room-service breakfast, so this is a good hotel to take it in your room.
One credit per stay. With no spa at this hotel, it is best used on lunch or dinner at Coterie, or put towards an in-room massage.
A one-category upgrade when available at check-in. The upgrade that matters is from a city view to a Public Garden view. The rooms are the same size, so what you gain is the outlook.
Priority for both. Handy for morning arrivals on overnight flights from the west coast or Europe.
A welcome amenity and a VIP note on the reservation. We ask for the garden side and pass on children's names and ages so the hotel can prepare.
Preferred Partner benefits apply on top of the hotel's own promotions. We check what is available for your dates when we quote.
The view over the Public Garden is what this hotel is known for, and not every room has it. Standard rooms are about 400 sq ft whichever way they face. Garden-view rooms and suites have bay windows looking over the park towards Beacon Hill and the gold dome of the State House.
About 400 sq ft with the park view. It comes with a king bed or two doubles, and the two-double version takes two adults and two children. If you book one category at this hotel, book this one.
The same size as the garden-view room, facing the city. A reasonable choice when the rate gap is wide, and the category where an upgrade makes the biggest difference. The Superior and Courtyard rooms below it are slightly smaller and have no park view.
About 625 sq ft, with a living room that closes off from the bedroom and bay windows over the park. This is the suite advisors book most for families. The dividing doors fold, so they let through a little more sound than a solid door.
The same size suite in the best positions for the view. Worth asking about for an anniversary or a first visit to Boston.
Larger suites from about 825 to 1,200 sq ft. The Garden Suite has marble bathrooms and the widest views of the park.
Rebuilt in 2024 at 2,590 sq ft, with Public Garden views and a private cinema room. Ask us about availability.
Connecting rooms are available and popular with families. Ask early, particularly for graduation weeks and autumn weekends.
A room on the city side is still a Four Seasons room, but it misses the reason to stay here. If the budget is fixed, a garden-view room beats a city-view suite for most couples.
Boston has two Four Seasons hotels, about ten minutes apart on foot. This one is the classic: park views, a traditional feel and the better location for sightseeing. One Dalton is a modern tower with a spa, a larger pool and higher-floor skyline views. Ask us if you are unsure which suits you.
This hotel has a pool and a large gym but no spa. Massage is offered in your room. If spa time matters, consider One Dalton.
The restaurant is small and popular with locals, so you need a booking even as a hotel guest. Tell us the nights you want.
Each guest floor has a pantry of complimentary snacks and drinks. The coffee bar makes a free morning coffee to order until 11 am, and the hotel lends bicycles.
Valet parking costs $65 to $75 a night and street parking is difficult. The hotel is three minutes from the Green Line, has a house car for drop-offs within about two miles, and most of central Boston is walkable.
Boston fills for the Marathon in April, university graduations from mid-April to late May, and the Head of the Charles regatta and autumn colour in October. January and February are the best value.
Children choose a toy from a hidden closet at check-in, the pool has park views, and the Swan Boats and the Frog Pond on the Common are across the street. Under-18s share with parents at no charge.
Dining was rebuilt with the 2023 redesign of the public spaces. The Bristol, which older reviews mention, is no longer here.
The hotel's restaurant and lounge, with brasserie dishes such as a seafood tower, escargots, a lobster roll and a well-regarded burger. Small, so reserve.
The breakfast room, serving an à la carte menu that includes a lobster omelette. The name revives the hotel's original fine-dining restaurant.
Morning coffee made to order, complimentary for hotel guests, with pastries and items to take away. It closes at 11 am.
Available around the clock, and delivered to the pool if you ask. Preferred Partner guests can take their daily breakfast this way.
The facilities are fewer than at a resort or at One Dalton, but what is here is well done.
An indoor heated lap pool and whirlpool with windows over the Public Garden. Quiet in the early morning and popular with children in the afternoon.
A large gym of about 7,000 sq ft, open 24 hours.
Key-access pantries on each guest floor, stocked with complimentary snacks and soft drinks.
A complimentary car for drop-offs within about two miles, and cruiser bikes to borrow for a ride along the Charles River.
A toy closet at check-in, child-size amenities, two-double rooms and connecting rooms. One of the easiest city hotels in the country with children.
Small dogs and cats are welcome. Weight limits apply, so let us know when you book.
Boston has real seasons, and hotel prices swing more here than in most American cities.
The hotel is on Boylston Street at the south-west corner of the Public Garden, between Back Bay and downtown.
Much of what first-time visitors want to see starts at the front door.
Across the street. The oldest public botanical garden in the country, with pedal-powered Swan Boats on the lagoon from spring to early autumn.
Next to the Public Garden. A water play area in summer and a skating rink in winter.
The walking route past the city's Revolutionary War sites starts on the Common. Allow half a day.
Eight blocks of shops, galleries and restaurants running west from the Public Garden.
A riverside park for a morning run or a bike ride. The concierge has route maps.
The best way to book Four Seasons Hotel Boston is through a Four Seasons Preferred Partner travel advisor. The advisor books the official Four Seasons rate, with no booking fees, and the reservation adds daily breakfast for two, a $100 hotel credit and upgrade priority.
Daily breakfast for two per bedroom at Aujourd'hui or through in-room dining, a $100 hotel credit per stay ($200 in suites), a one-category upgrade when available at check-in, priority for early check-in and late checkout, and a welcome amenity with VIP recognition. With no spa at this hotel, the credit is best used at Coterie or on an in-room massage.
Yes. Four Seasons Preferred Partner is Four Seasons' own program for invited travel advisors. The benefits are confirmed by the resort on the reservation, not added by a third party, and the rate is the official rate Four Seasons publishes.
A Four Seasons Preferred Partner advisor and Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts (FHR) both add breakfast for two, a $100 credit and upgrade priority at Four Seasons Boston. FHR also guarantees 4:00 pm checkout, but needs an Amex Platinum or Centurion card and a booking through Amex Travel. Preferred Partner needs no card, doubles the credit to $200 in suites and adds VIP recognition. Booking direct at fourseasons.com costs the same and adds none of these, because Four Seasons has no points programme. One booking can carry only one of the two benefit packages.
Four Seasons Hotel Boston, on Boylston Street, is the classic: Public Garden views, a traditional feel and the better location for sightseeing, but no spa. One Dalton Street is a modern tower with a spa, a larger pool and higher-floor skyline views. The two are about ten minutes apart on foot.
No. The Boylston Street hotel has an indoor pool on the eighth floor and a gym of about 7,000 sq ft, but no spa. Massage is offered in your room. Four Seasons One Dalton Street has a full spa.
The Deluxe Garden-View Room and the garden-view suites, which have bay windows over the park towards Beacon Hill. Standard rooms are about 400 sq ft whichever way they face, so a city-view room is the same size without the park.
Yes. Children choose a toy from a hidden closet at check-in, under-18s share with parents at no charge, and rooms with two double beds take two adults and two children. The Swan Boats and the Frog Pond are across the street.
About 15 minutes by car outside rush hour. By public transport, take the Blue Line and change to the Green Line for Arlington station, a three-minute walk from the hotel.
January and February. September and October are the most expensive months, and rates also jump for the Marathon in April and university graduations from mid-April to late May.
No. The Four Seasons Preferred Partner rate matches the rate the hotel publishes itself, and we charge no booking fees. The benefits are added at no extra cost.
Usually, yes, if you booked directly with the hotel. Send us your confirmation and the benefits can be added with the dates, rate, room type and cancellation policy unchanged. Bookings made through an online travel agency cannot be moved.
