Boston Herald, November 17, 2011

“I love everything about this hotel – from the warm and friendly welcome I received and the courtesy Mercedes guest car on hand, to the luxurious rooms and lovely spa.”

WendyFurrer.com, October 29, 2011

“Even the most basic guest rooms at this Back Bay behemoth overflow with amenities. But what stands out is the way staffers treat you: like a frequent, honored guest, even if it’s the only time you’ll ever visit.”

New England Travel, April 28, 2011

LuxBoston.com, March 23, 2011

“The Mandarin Oriental is contemporary and uncluttered and its highly rated spa’s as much an attraction as the Frette robes, towels and linens.”
