The Lenox Hotel

• Opened in 1900, the Lenox Hotel has been host to such celebrities as Judy Garland, Tony Curtis, Michelle Pfeiffer and John Travolta. Whether a visitor chooses to settle down with a book by the light of the crystal lamps in one of their high-ceilinged, mahogany-furnished guest rooms or take a soak in the adjoining Italian marble bathroom, the Lenox promises a combination of old-world luxury with the latest in modern technology. There is an on-site fitness center, and a masseuse is available by appointment. The City Table restaurant serves contemporary American cuisine with fresh, organic ingredients, while the City Bar provides one-of-a-kind martinis and lighter fare. Guests looking for something a little more casual and lively might try Solas, an authentic Irish Pub also on the premises. The hotel is only minutes away from the New England Aquarium, Museum of Fine Arts, Fenway Park and the Public Garden. As of 2010, room rates started at $295 per night.
