Boston: Fairmont Copley Plaza turns 100 with style -- and savings
Turning 100 years old might not mean much in Boston, where places such as the Old North Church date to 1723. Still, the grand Fairmont Copley Plaza in the Back Bay area marks its first century with a $20-million face-lift and newly renovated rooms starting at a nightly rate of $100 a person.
The deal: This deal lasts all year, giving you a chance to pick your favorite season to visit. The Celebration of a Century Package charges $100 a person (minimum two to a room) plus tax. It also comes with a private history tour of the hotel and a historical booklet.
When: The offer is good through the end of the year, subject to availability.
Tested: I checked availability on a spring weekend (April 6-7) and found a $200 room plus tax for two travelers. (I even had a choice of queen- or king-sized bed). Best available rate for the same room on the same nights goes for $399 a
