| DINING |
| The Federalist - This stately restaurant with mahogany furnishings, rich gold- and-burgundy colors, and busts of the Founders is accented by Abstract Expressionist paintings from Theodoros Stamos’ “Sunbox Series.” A long bar with high-back leather stools stretches from the lounge into the dining area, where fresh flowers are arranged each day by an in-house florist. “The Fed” features Euro-New England cuisine, and is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch. Menu highlights include Baked Lobster with Maine Crab Brioche Stuffing, Tenderloin Beef Wellington, and, for dessert, Frozen Chocolate Cheesecake. Inventive seasonal specialties are enhanced by fresh ingredients from the “urban herb garden” on the hotel’s roof deck. The Wine Cellar - A pair of original oil paintings by Gilbert Stuart lines the stairwell down to the wine cellar, which doubles as a private dining area accommodating up to 40 guests. The entire wine collection numbers roughly 30,000 bottles, with some 3,000 bottles on the wine list—including vintages from the 1700s and a bottle of Champagne recovered from a shipwreck in 1907. |
| SERVICES |
| What to expect: The lobby’s rich espresso-and-cream colors, mahogany walls, and black-marble floors with stripes of glittering steel are offset by a striking abstract painting by Russian artist Jules Olitski. Custom furnishings with striped and checked patterns sit opposite an original cage elevator from 1907. Original oil paintings by Gilbert Stuart line the stairwell to the wine cellar. This hotel caters to business and leisure travelers who appreciate high-tech amenities and old-fashioned luxury. Amenity highlights: The Federalist is the hotel’s acclaimed restaurant, featuring Euro-New England cuisine and a 30,000-bottle wine collection. Room service, offered 24 hours daily, is also available on the hotel’s secluded rooftop sundeck overlooking the gilt-domed State House and the Charles River beyond. The hotel’s complimentary Mercedes-Benz car service makes trips anywhere in Boston, and guests are within walking distance of boutique shopping, historic sites, the Boston Common, and the financial and theater districts. Insider tip: The hotel is steps away from many historic and architectural landmarks, including the Massachusetts State House, designed by Charles Bulfinch and built in 1798. The Declaration of Independence was first heard from the balcony of the Old State House, built in 1713, just two blocks away. And one block away is the Old Granary Burial Ground, where visitors can see the headstones of luminary Bostonians such as Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock. |
| Fifteen Beacon is both the name and the address of this handsome boutique hotel, which is centrally located amid Beacon Hill’s narrow cobblestone streets and brick Victorian townhouses. Housed in a restored Beaux Arts building from 1903, the hotel presents a striking façade, with a lower portion of cast iron inlaid with gilded shields, and an upper portion laced with fluted columns and a broad copper cornice. Inside, rich colors and custom furnishings are complemented by original works of art. Upon arrival, guests are given personal residence cards with privately assigned phone and fax numbers. Complimentary car service makes trips anywhere in the city via one of the hotel’s three Mercedes-Benz sedans.
