citizenM Boston Back Bay

citizenM Boston Back Bay puts its bedrooms and shared spaces to different uses. Rooms are compact and designed for up to two adults, with an extra-large king bed, a rainfall shower, and tablet controls for lighting, temperature, blinds, and the television. Downstairs, the communal living room gives guests more space to work, sit, or meet someone outside their room.

The hotel also has a round-the-clock canteenM and fitness room, plus the Bubble Bath rooftop bar. Its Newbury Street address works well for a stay built around Back Bay, shopping, and trips on the Green Line. There is no on-site parking, so factor a garage into the budget if you are driving. The appeal is a straightforward room with useful shared amenities rather than a sprawling suite.
