Hotel Aka Back Bay - A historic police headquarters transformed into a luxury Boston hotel with French bistro dining and Technogym fitness center
Located in Back Bay's sophisticated district, this 1925-built former Boston Police Headquarters features weathered limestone architecture with neoclassic details. The four-star Hotel Aka Back Bay offers 222 guestrooms, two luxury suites, and one presidential suite designed by award-winning Selldorf Architects. The property includes a 4800-square-foot event space with cathedral ceilings and modern LED lighting. The lounge+library provides 860 square feet for relaxation and work, while The Berkeley restaurant serves French bistro cuisine in indoor and outdoor settings. A 24-hour Technogym fitness center with cardio equipment and weights caters to health-conscious guests. The Boston hotel's Business Center features MAC PCs and printing services, accessible round-the-clock. Located steps from Newbury Street and the Prudential Center, Hotel Aka Back Bay sits 0.5 miles from Copley Square and John Hancock Tower, with Boston Common and Public Garden within 0.5 miles.
Pros
Recently transformed interiors by renowned Selldorf Architects featuring residential-style aesthetics
Flexible dining options at The Berkeley with weekly events including $1 Oyster Mondays and live music Thursdays
Dedicated 24/7 Guest Services Team providing personalized recommendations
Prime location near major corporate offices including John Hancock/Manulife and Liberty Mutual Insurance
Cons
1 mile from Faneuil Hall Marketplace and Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum
Located between busy thoroughfares which may create ambient noise
“Formerly the Boston Police Headquarters, the building's history is palpable, especially given its Back Bay location near Newbury Street. The seamless blend of that legacy with modern design, spearheaded by Selldorf Architects, creates a serene escape in a bustling area. In my opinion, this hotel stands out for its engaging social events at The Berkeley and dedication to guest comfort.”
