The magazine said the 61-room hotel "channels the city’s historic spirit with a lavish art collection and a prime location just a block from Boston Common."

More than 207,000 readers voted in the 2026 survey, casting more than 661,000 votes across hotels, cities, cruise lines and other travel categories, according to the magazine. XV Beacon scored 98.47.

The hotel is located in a turn-of-the-century Beaux Arts building in Beacon Hill and is one block from Boston Common, according to Travel + Leisure.

“We are deeply honored to be recognized as the No. 1 City Hotel in the United States and the No. 1 Hotel in Boston by Travel + Leisure readers,” Amy Finsilver, General Manager of XV Beacon, wrote in a statement following the award. “This award is especially meaningful because it reflects the experiences of our guests. We have always believed that exceptional hospitality isn’t defined by the size of a building or the number of amenities—it is defined by how people feel when they walk through the doors."
