Unscripted hospitality plays out daily in all we do. It empowers our employees to provide incomparable, authentic service.

With the stylish and incredible rooms and suites, and incomparable Fenway Park overlooks, the rooms and public spaces show the hotel’s legendary urban charm.  We want you to share your love of the city and its charms and energy.  We have a keen eye for detail and pride ourselves on being unrivaled hosts to guests from all reaches.  We are a team that looks forward to the experiences we create for guests, and the joy we find in working together.
