Elegant Public Areas

The spacious lobby at Boston Common Hotel has marble-tile flooring, stone walls, and brass chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling. A large, sweeping staircase with brass handrails leads to an impressive, rotunda-like space on the second floor, where tall columns frame brown-accented marble floors.
