The Lenox Hotel is perfecting the art of fireside hospitality

There is an elemental comfort to a wood-burning fire that no heating system can replicate. At The Lenox Hotel, tucked away on 61 Exeter Street, this is a centerpiece of their autumn offering. For those chilly Boston evenings when the wind picks up off the Charles, there is nowhere more inviting than a room warmed by the smell and crackle of real wood.

The Lenox manages to balance this old-world charm with a very modern sense of place. Staying here feels less like a hotel visit and more like settling into a well-loved library. It is a destination for the nostalgic, the romantic, and anyone who understands that the best part of an autumn excursion is finding a reason to stay indoors.
