Since 1912, The Copley Plaza at Copley Square has been regarded as a landmark in Boston's historic Back Bay. In keeping with our long-standing tradition, guests at The Fairmont Copley Plaza, four-diamond award-winning property, will also experience impeccable service in exquisite surroundings. Constructed on the original site of Boston's Museum of Fine Arts, The Fairmont Copley Plaza was named in honor of the great American painter John Singleton Copley (1738-1774). The hotel's architect, Henry Janeway Hardenbergh, also designed The Plaza Hotel in New York. These sister hotels share the double 'P' monogram, which can be found along the building's exterior, in the ballroom, and on doorknobs throughout the hotel. The exterior classical design also includes a combination of French and Venetian Renaissance elements. Terra-cotta accents decorate the limestone facade of this six-story hotel. The interior reflects America's love for European palatial style. Gilded, coffered ceiling decorated with trompe l'oeil paintings of the sky soar over the grand 5,000 square foot lobby. Ornate architectural details and period antiques are common throughout this elegant hotel. Over the years, foreign dignitaries, royalty, and contemporary glitterati have all resided at the hotel in memorable style and luxury. Its 383 guestroomsm 17 suites, and 9 meeting rooms, including the unparalleled Grand Ballroom and renowned Oval Room, can graciously accommodate functions for everyone from heads of state to heads of corporations.
