Practical tips for planning a wellness stay
If you want quiet pool time, ask the concierge about less busy windows — the pool area is shared and can be busier during popular hours. For fitness or therapy sessions, book personal training or in‑room massage ahead of arrival when possible.
Remember the hotel’s basic logistics: standard check‑in is 3:00 PM and check‑out is 12:00 PM; the Fitness Centre is open 24 hours; and the hotel address is 200 Boylston St, across from Boston Public Garden.
- Book personal training or in‑room massage in advance through Reservations or concierge
- Mention if you’re staying in a specific room type (e.g., Deluxe Room, Executive Suite, Senator Suite) when arranging in‑room services
- Check with the front desk about valet parking, town car service within 2 miles, and accessibility needs
- Keep the child supervision policy in mind if traveling with kids (children under 16 require an accompanying adult)
