Hotel Information

Here is information for the 4 hotels where we have room blocks for the weekend of July 20-22. The reception is at the Fairmont Copley, but all of these hotels are a short walk (less than 10 minutes) or a cheap cab ride away, and all of them are near the best attractions in Boston. When you call, be sure to mention the Hamilton/Volpe Wedding to get the rates below. Here is a link to a map showing all the hotels where we have a room block along with the location of our church.

Mike's Notes: The Fairmont Copley is one fo the oldest and most prestigious hotels in Boston. Also, every United States President since Taft (Clinton stayed at the hotel while he was a candidate) has stayed at The Fairmont Copley Plaza Boston. In addition, the hotel has been featured in several major motion pictures including The Firm and Blown Away. If you are a dog lover, make sure to call in advance to place a "reservation" to take Katie Copley (a black lab) for a walk, she is the hotel mascot and has a house at the entrance to the hotel.

The Lenox Hotel

In 1900, the hotelier and impresario Lucias Boomer (best known as the owner of New York’s Waldorf - Astoria) began work on what was to be the most luxurious hotel in New England. Eight months and $1,100,000 later, The Lenox, the tallest building in Boston at the time, opened its doors in the heart of Back Bay and a proud tradition was born. The industry leading environmental efforts of The Lenox have received numerous prestigious awards for pioneering luxury within ecotourism including a Gold Medal from President George H.
