Overall rating 4. What is the best part of working at Taj Boston? One person answered. If you were in charge, what would you do to make Taj Boston a better place to work? But these feel more like a warm welcome into Indian culture than disjointed add-ons, effectively introducing a fresh element to the hotel's European classicism.

Overall, you'll be hard pressed to find another hotel in this price range that can match the Taj's level of service -- including a free ride in a Jaguar around the city -- and picturesque location. You'd have to book at the much pricier Four Seasons or Ritz-Carlton Boston Common to find an equivalent combination of services and location. Outside the restaurant, the service is superb -- from the bellman who showed me around my room to the complimentary shoeshine.

A "fireplace butler" tends to the working fireplaces available in some suites you can choose from a menu of firewood , a "bath butler" can set up your tub for a customized soak for a fee , all rooms have pillow menus with six options, and the green Jaguar house car will shuttle guests around Back Bay or downtown.

The staffers don't always address you by last name, as they often do at the Mandarin Oriental and Fairmont Copley Plaza , but this level of attention is a rare thing at this price range. And the free luxury perks at the Taj are only rivaled by hotels that often cost a lot more -- the Mandarin Oriental , the Intercontinental , and the Four Seasons among them.

The Taj is located in the middle of the city in Back Bay, an upscale commercial and residential area where skyscrapers tower above centuries-old churches and expensive brownstone homes. As the home of the Hynes Convention Center, Back Bay is a popular area for business travelers, but it also has some of the city's best shopping, from the quaint boutiques on Newbury Street to the massive Prudential Center mall.

The area is filled with midrange and upscale restaurants, many of them chains, but the South End, a more lively bohemian area with trendy bars and eateries, is a quick, minute walk away. The Taj enjoys one of the most scenic locations in Back Bay, overlooking the Public Garden on one side and Newbury Street on the other.

The Boston Common lies just one block past the Public Garden. The hotel's old-world European style extends into the guest rooms, all of which are large -- about to square feet, considerably larger than the standard rooms at the Fairmont Copley Plaza -- and beautifully decorated.

While offering an extensive amount of top-of-the-line equipment many with individual video screens , the spacious fitness center here can feel a little dark -- with windows that just offer an interior view of the air shaft.

But like the business center, it's free. My biggest complaint -- and this is not a small point -- is that the restaurant seemed to have a complete breakdown while I was there. The lasagna I ordered from room service arrived nuked to within an inch of its life, the pasta so dried out that it was hard to cut through on the edges.

In the morning at the cafe, I watched as waiters argued with one another while seating guests. My own waiter, who rarely stopped by, brusquely discouraged me from ordering the Indian breakfast dish by saying, "That's going to take a while. Though the last major renovation was in , the hotel is very clean and in flawless condition -- no dust or mildew anywhere. The Taj refreshed the hotel upon its purchase in Just steps from from charming Newbury Street, this classy and historic boutique hotel housed in an elegant Neo-Georgian corner building offers mostly huge suites with smallish marble bathroom and an excellent Japanese restaurant overseen by a James Beard Award-winning chef.
