Four Seasons Hotel Boston Celebrates Continued Five-Star Distinction in Forbes Travel Guide’s 2025 Star Awards

Forbes Travel Guide, the only global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruises, has announced its 2025 Star Award winners, once again recognizing Four Seasons Hotel Boston with the prestigious Five-Star rating. Described as “an exquisite Boston classic” by Forbes Travel Guide, the hotel remains the longest-running Five-Star property in the city. This year’s award marks the hotel’s 26th consecutive year receiving this honour, making it one of only 10 hotels in the world to achieve this distinction. This recognition reinforces its enduring legacy of impeccable service and timeless luxury.

“This Five-Star recognition holds special meaning as we approach our 40th anniversary this June,” says General Manager Michael Pedder. “At the heart of our success has always been our extraordinary team. Their passion for excellence has defined Four Seasons Hotel since 1985 and continues to set new standards in luxury hospitality.”

From its distinguished location, the luxury hotel overlooks the historic Public Garden and adjacent Boston Common, offering an unparalleled launch point to explore the rich history, attractions, and architectural beauty of the nation’s most walkable city. With 239 beautifully appointed guest rooms, including 69 expansive suites, Four Seasons Hotel Boston blends classic New England elegance with modern comfort. The crown jewel of the property is the Royal Suite, reimagined in 2024, offering 2,590 square feet (240 square metres) of sophisticated interiors, panoramic views of the Public Garden, and a private cinema room.

In 2023, the hotel completed a stunning redesign of its public spaces by renowned AD100 designer Ken Fulk. The transformation included the debut of Coterie, an intimate Brasserie style lounge that offers guests a sophisticated and stylish dining experience. Exclusive, only-at-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Boston touches elevate every guest experience, including the whimsical toy Mystery Closet accessible to children via a magic golden key, the Students in the City experience for those visiting Boston for college tours, a gourmet coffee bar serving custom espresso drinks each morning with the hotel’s compliments, and the signature Vaults, 24-hour pantries on every guest floor stocked with complimentary sweet and savoury snacks and beverages.

Forbes Travel Guide star ratings are awarded by a team of anonymous professional inspectors who travel the world to assess hotels, restaurants, and spas based on 900 objective standards. Star ratings ultimately emphasize quality of service. Five-Star properties are defined as “outstanding, often iconic properties with virtually flawless service and amazing facilities.”
