Boston's only downtown Hilton is simultaneously elegant and intimate, beginning with the lobby's marble floors, upholstered chairs and couches. Attracting business clientele during the week and vacationers on weekends, the intimate Rendezvous Lounge, with its comfortable seating arrangements, offers continental breakfast daily and cocktails in the evenings. The hotel's restaurant, Boodles Restaurant and Bar, is especially popular with people attending the Boston Symphony. Specializing in wood-grilled offerings, favorite entrées include oven-roasted duck breast, sesame-crusted ahi tuna and lobster stew. The bar is renowned for having the largest selection of micro- brewed beers in Boston.

Live plants and freshly-cut flowers adorn the Hilton Boston Back Bay's guestrooms, which are decorated in dark-wood accents and Boston-inspired themes. The décor includes multi-toned wood headboards and armoires, striped fabrics, lime green tones and floral prints. Rooms are equipped with video-game consoles, high-speed Internet access, designer toiletries and mini-bars. Guests on the upper levels are granted spectacular views of downtown Boston and the Charles River, and no matter how busy or full the hotel becomes, the soundproofed guestrooms and working windows mean guests can block out the noises of other guests and bring in the sights and sounds of the city.
