What guests say
9 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 508 guest reviews
The Newbury Boston earns near-universal acclaim for its prime Back Bay location, beautifully restored property, and attentive front-line staff, with the Contessa restaurant and street bar adding to its appeal. Minor friction points include small room sizes, a dark foyer, the absence of a complimentary fridge, and isolated feedback that senior staff were less warm than their junior colleagues. Overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with most guests rating their stay exceptional.
