Before booking this hotel, I researched it on citysearch any website I could find that reviewed it. Every place mentioned it as one of the best luxury hotels in all of Boston. I can't say it was bad, but for the amount of money we paid, I expected more. The food in the mini-bar was stale. The LCD in the bathroom was broken (I know, who needs an LCD in the bathroom, but if you got one, shouldn't it work?:). The fireplace would not turn on and we needed someone to come up and fix it. These are little things, but for $400 a night, they should all work! The room was very nice though and the rooftop garden was lovely. The continental breakfast was also quite good.

This is a newish boutique hotel. There is a hipper-than-thou feel to it. It is avant-garde in design, small, luxurious. Probably perfect if that's the kind of hotel you like. But there's nothing really boston-y about it. Why not stay in B. Hill somewhere if you've bothered to come to the city? If you are a rich elitist hipster, this may be the place for you. Liveried hipster staff. But if you want low overhead, you can find something that does not whisk you away to elitist la la land.

I love everything about XV Beacon. The location (top of Beacon Street near the statehouse) is great. The service is A+. The rooms are beautiful, quiet, and luxurious. The price is reasonable for the level of service. They have their own car service to run you around town. Everything just works.
