The 1927 Ritz-Carlton building, restored to its original standard. Contessa on the roof is Back Bay's finest dinner address.
The Newbury Boston occupies the 1927 building that was the Ritz-Carlton Boston for 75 years — the most socially significant hotel in New England history, where generations of Back Bay families held their debutante balls, conducted their business, and celebrated their milestones. The building was restored and reopened as the Newbury Boston in 2021 under Marriott Autograph Collection management, retaining the building's original proportions and much of its architectural character while introducing a contemporary design programme.
The 286 rooms are configured across the building's original floors, with the corner rooms on Newbury Street offering the finest views of the Back Bay streetscape in any Boston hotel. The Contessa restaurant on the rooftop level serves a Roman-influenced Italian menu with views of the Back Bay rooflines and, on the upper terrace, the Boston skyline — the most compelling outdoor dining view in the city.
The Newbury's position at the corner of Newbury Street and Arlington Street places it within steps of the Public Garden, the most beautiful urban park in the eastern United States, and at the top of Newbury Street's retail corridor, which runs eight blocks to Massachusetts Avenue through Boston's finest independent retail.
The Newbury Boston is the Back Bay anniversary hotel — the 1927 building, the Contessa rooftop terrace, and the Newbury Street location combine to produce an anniversary that is rooted in Boston's most elegant neighbourhood. The original Ritz-Carlton building's history gives the stay a narrative dimension that newer hotels cannot acquire. See all anniversary hotels →
The Newbury's Back Bay location — adjacent to the Prudential Center and the Hynes Convention Center, a short walk from the Financial District — and Contessa's private dining room make it the most appropriate Boston business entertainment hotel for clients in the technology, biotech, and private equity sectors that have concentrated in Kendall Square and Back Bay.
