Our take

Hotel AKA Back Bay turns Boston's former police headquarters into a modern hotel with a fitness center, a business center, an on-site grill and pet-friendly rooms. The Back Bay location is its biggest asset, and an 8.8 score from 727 reviews shows guests rate it highly. I would book it for a walkable city stay with some history, not for resort-style facilities.

  • Explore Copley Square and Boston Common, both just a short walk from the hotel.
  • Take advantage of the on-site fitness center for a workout during your stay.
  • Consider using the nearby Boston Back Bay train station for easy access to other parts of the city.

Why we love it

  • Historic building with a unique past
  • Prime location near Copley Square
  • Pet-friendly and family-friendly atmosphere
  • On-site fitness and business centers
Why guests love it

Hotel AKA Back Bay occupies Boston's former police headquarters, a historic building that older children may find more interesting than a standard tower. The Back Bay address keeps walks short, and the on-site grill makes a simple family dinner easy after a day out. Pets are accepted, and parents get a fitness center and a business center. There is no pool listed, so I see it as a base for exploring the city on foot. An 8.8 score from 727 reviews is very good.
