Understated exclusitivity. In the shadow of the towering John Hancock building, Hotel 140 stands as a historic icon and beacon of warmth and hospitality. Constructed as the first YWCA in the country, Hotel 140 does not need flashy signs and waving banners. Travelers "in the know," know that the aged brass "140" over the door is the only sign needed to find comfortable rooms in the heart of Back Bay. They know they will find a lobby where an amalgam of tourists and locals alike enjoy complimentary coffee and scintillating conversation, and that the core and soul of the building is still based in philanthropy and a strong commitment to the community. Named for its desirable Clarendon Street location, Hotel 140 is a smart solution for travelers ranging from the collegiate crowd, to seasoned tourists, to the savvy business traveler.

This smoke-free Boston hotel is one block from Back Bay Train Station, Copley Square and Copley Place Mall. Upscale shopping on Newbury Street is three blocks away. The Museum of Fine Arts, the Freedom Trail, and the Hynes Convention Center are less than a mile from Hotel 140.

A business center, fitness center, and laundry facilities are on site. A self-help concierge desk and express check-out are provided. Self parking (surcharge) is available in a garage one block past the Hotel on the right. A casual restaurant offers sandwiches, salads, breakfast and lunch to the local business crowd.
