Created in 1927 by the great hotelier E.M. Statler as a grand American hotel, it was called a "city within a city". Today it takes pride in serving Boston as a destination itself, housing under one roof some of Boston's most famous restaurants and lounges, including Todd English's Bonfire Steakhouse, McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant and Smith & Wollensky's Steakhouse located in The Castle at Park Plaza, beauty salon/barber shop, Business Center, full-service concierge, fitness center, shoe shine and more. Enter the hotel's palatial Grand Lobby and you'll experience the grace and warmth that is its signature whether serving Afternoon Tea in Swan's Caf? or hosting a convention or gala dinner for 2,000. The hotel was designed for celebrations from its Imperial Ballroom with sparkling crystal chandeliers, gilded balconies and proscenium arch stage accommodating 2,000 to the more intimate setting for 50 in the historic Boston atmosphere of the oak-paneled Hancock Room. The Executive Chef and his staff creatively assist in menus from special requests to kosher catering.

I have always had a good experience staying at the Park Plaza. We enjoy the elegant lobby that is a throwback to a grand era. It just feels nice. We have always been able to find a great rate (for Boston!) as this hotel does plenty of deals. In my recent stay, it was just $119 per night. Its an old hotel so some rooms and bathrooms are a bit small, but nice for the price. You can get a nicer hotel for a much higher price in Boston, but you can do a lot worse than the Park Plaza. I recommend it highly for people on a moderate budget. I love its location near the Boston Public Gardens and just down the street from the Arlington "T" stop on the Green Line.

We stayed here midweek while in town and were very, very pleased with the comfort level of both the room and the hotel as a whole. It's a big place, and could easily be just another big hotel in the middle of a big city, but the service was...

The bed was comfortable and there was heat and hot water. However, at the exorbitant pricing that this room cost, I didn't expect to pay 12.00 for an internet connection and outlandish room service pricing. Room service soft drink was 3.50!

the bathroom is very small but the room itself is of an average size. Great location and within walking distance to Copley Plaza (10 min). The subway system is adjacent to the hotel. Overall, it is a good value for the money.

I stayed at Boston Park Plaza Hotel for a week, in an upgrade Tower Room. For over $300 a day, I couldn’t even get hot water for shower in the morning. I also experienced billing error and loss of item at my room. The staff was trying to help, but the hotel is so overwhelmed with problems that they either couldn’t do anything or did not care. I checked out with an erroneous invoice, and the security manager (service manage was not in on duty) promised that a fax copy of the revised invoice will be faxed to me. As of today (more than one week later), I am still waiting for the correct invoice. I emailed the security manager; she did not reply. I called the security manager and the hotel, and nobody picked up the phone at the front desk, or at the accounting. Apparently, nobody cares in the hotel once you leave.
The lesson I learned from spending more than $2k? Stay away from Boston Park Plaza Hotel!
