When we think of Boston hotels, we tend to think of stately properties like the Taj and the Fairmont Copley Plaza—places befitting the city’s preppy-Yankee vibe.

And we hope to take advantage of that opening special—rates from $165 a night ($188.84 with tax), including complimentary upgrades to the next available room type at check-in (based on availability). Being accustomed to the steep rates at Morgans’ properties in New York City and Miami, this sounds like a pretty good deal. Assuming the hammers have stopped and the dust has cleared in the hotel’s hallways ...
