Site Inspection: Four Seasons Dalton Street Boston

Curated by
Karen Morales
The Four Seasons is located on Dalton Street, tucked into Boston's Back Bay, a short stroll to the Prudential, Newbury Street or even Fenway. It is the second Four Season's property in Boston, with the first a newly refurbished property across from the Public Garden. It is the perfect spot for business travel, a couples or family trip and wins my applause for likely the most accessible luxury hotel in Boston (another perk for all the Boston-based medical travel). Plus, it's the only spa and pool combo in the entire city.
