Room (High Floor)

Rooms in this category sit higher in the building and have an elevated outlook over the Back Bay neighbourhood. The hotel is at 408 Newbury Street within the Lyrik development, close to the Hynes Convention Center, so the room puts you above the city streets rather than at street level.

It is a private bathroom with a shower fitted with both a hydromassage and a rainfall showerhead. Free toiletries, soap, shampoo and a hair dryer are provided, and toothbrushes and toothpaste are available on request. Towels are changed every four days.

The room's details include a grab bar in the shower at 36 inches high and a wheelchair-accessible bathroom vanity at 34 inches high. The TV offers closed captioning. The hotel overall is wheelchair accessible, with elevators and key-card access throughout, and its fitness centre is wheelchair-accessible too.

You get a 43-inch LED TV with premium channels, an iPad and iPod dock, and a refrigerator. The iPad handles in-room controls. Free WiFi at 100+ Mbps covers up to six devices, and air conditioning and heating are climate-controlled. Bed sheets are changed every four days.

Breakfast is not included in the room. The hot and cold buffet at canteenM costs roughly $20.50–$21.50 per person and includes unlimited barista coffee. canteenM is open 24/7 for coffee, salads, sandwiches and warm dishes, and becomes a bar with cocktails and draught beer in the evening. On the 15th floor, Bubble Bath Rooftop Bar serves wine, cocktails, shareable bites and caviar from 4:00 PM, with a patio overlooking the Charles River. It is a 21+ venue, so bring a valid physical ID.

Check-in starts at 2:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM. Late check-out is available for a $69 fee, subject to availability. Check-in is self-service on a tablet in the second-floor lobby, with 24-hour ambassadors on hand to help. Please bring a government-issued photo ID and a credit or debit card, as the hotel does not accept cash.
