This luxury Boston hotel has been a symbol of the city’s rich history and elegance since its gala opening in 1912.
Centrally located in Boston’s historic Back Bay, The Fairmont Copley Plaza sits steps away from the Boston Public Library, historic Beacon Hill, and the Freedom Trail. Our historic landmark is located only a few blocks from the Hynes Convention Center, Copley Place Mall and the boutiques of Newbury Street.

In addition, guests can enjoy our legendary Oak Room – a regal, comfortably elegant restaurant featuring traditional steakhouse selections with a distinctive twist.

In addition to elegant accommodations and gracious service, we also offer the unique services of our resident Canine Ambassador, Catie Copley – making our luxury Boston hotel feel just a bit more like home.

If you would like to take your own canine companion a gift from The Fairmont – or treat yourself to something special, The Fairmont Store, located in the main Lobby at the Dartmouth Street entrance, offers a variety of luxurious items to help remind you of your trip.

In preparation for our Centennial Celebration in 2012, we are pleased to announce a more-than $20 million restoration project. The extensive guest room portion of the renovation will start in December of 2011 – and should be complete by spring 2012.

“The Clubhouse”

Posted on by Rachel

By Kevin Walker, Owner

At different times we have spoken of our other project, in the form of the new and emerging Oak Bay Beach Hotel, scheduled for opening in the Spring of 2012.

Many of you are from outside the Victoria area, and probably have not had a chance to see our completed structure in the last while…so we thought it might be fun to bring you up to date on what is sure to be one of the worlds foremost travel destinations. And truly a signature affiliate in our club catalogue.

It is often referred to as our Discovery Club “Clubhouse”, for it is here that our members will find advantages and benefits only available to Discovery Club members. Imagine a place that provides timeless old world architecture, set on the Pacific Ocean, where the whales and eagles pay regular visits to your doorstep. Picture yourself seaside, literally, soaking in the hot therapeutic mineral pools, or enjoying a spa moment of pedicures and manicures and massage, then maybe retire to the Grand Lobby for a relaxing glass of Port, or a Hot Chocolate in Kate’s Café. And recently we announced that the new Oak Bay Beach Hotel will be home to the David Foster Foundation Theatre, where you can take in a live dinner theatre show or a movie, and of course The Snug, world famous already, will be making its triumphant return.  And all of this is yours to enjoy and your Discovery Club membership will afford you access to a range of benefits  that extend beyond just accommodation.

Your membership ensures that you always get first notice of all the special events we have planned. We have set aside a very special block of rooms for Club Members, and you will be amazed at their views, their size and the remarkable services (Butler, Concierge, Valet, Chef’s on call, and more).
We will encourage you to continue to travel the world because that is what Discovery Club membership is all about…but then you will have a place to call home, right here in Victoria BC, on the seashore.

We are very excited to share this great destination with you. Be sure to check out the website www.oakbaybeachhotel.com and we’ll see you there in the Spring of 2012

Happy Travels

Myself along with one of my co-workers, Crystal have had the privilege of first hand experience in the following cycling destinations. From around the world, these destinations are among our favourites, and we would not want our Discovery Club members to miss them.

Provence

With the tour de France having just finished, we thought we would start our biking excursions in Provence, the lovely region of southeastern France.

Pedal Provence’s southwest corner weaving through the cobble stone streets and limestone peeks, through town markets, and into the quiet countryside. At night kick up your feet while enjoying a beautifully prepared dinner made with fresh local ingredients. Rest in the regions premiere Inns, enjoy sipping on Provence’s most coveted wines, and experience France’s astounding History.

Team Spotlight – Rachel Wall

Posted on by Rachel

I have traveled or lived in over 25 different countries worldwide. My first major trip took me to Australia where I lived there with my now fiancé. We spent many months scuba diving, camping, hiking, and getting to know the true Australian culture. From there we travelled to South East Asia, where we explored Singapore, Vietnam and Cambodia.

Europe caught my eye next where this time I travelled solo for a month and backpacked through England, France, Netherlands, Italy, Slovenia and Croatia.
