“Fairmont Copley Plaza's history and architecture create a striking first impression, yet some reports suggest the interiors now require significant investment to match its prime location. While the OAK Long Bar + Kitchen remains a draw, potential guests should weigh the acclaimed service and event spaces against concerns about room conditions. It's a landmark with potential, but current feedback is mixed.”
