In the last ten years or so, however, competitors have popped up. I, for one, have favored staying at other, more seemingly appealing properties when traveling.
Most recently, Four Seasons is trying to reboot its DNA by debuting hotels that are more design-forward, hipper and attractive to travelers who usually gravitate to chic boutique properties. Four Seasons Hotel One Dalton Street, Boston, is a prime example. Opened just before the pandemic, it's not a typical Four Seasons, but does it live up to its promise of being a cooler yet still high-end version 2.0? I checked in recently to find out.
Located in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood, the hotel is near many of the city's attractions including Newbury Street, Copley Square and the Museum of Fine Arts. Popular restaurants are also within walking distance. The property is situated in a 724-foot skyscraper that is the third-tallest building in town. I was immediately drawn to the design: The lobby and public spaces have a decidedly glamorous and sleek style comprised of creamy tones, muted grays, pops of metallic, and eye-catching art.
