After a few searches, I've noticed that we don't have a current master thread for Sheraton Boston, so I'm starting one because I think this hotel deserves recognition.

First of all, I would just like to thank the hotel and staff members for their consistent warm hospitality and Platinum recognition. They treat me and other Platinums exceptionally well.

Hotel Location and General Info
Sheraton Boston in located in the heart of back bay. The hotel is connected to the Prudential Center, an upscale shopping mall. The Prudential Center is also connected to Copley Place, another upscale shopping plaza. In the cold winter, this makes walking extremely convenient and comfortable. Only a block away, there stands the infamous Newbury St, where one would find more boutique and upscale stores along with highly rated restaurants.

Nearby Restaurants
The Sheraton Boston does not have any in house restaurants, but there are many restaurants inside both Copley Place and Prudential Center (Legal Seafoods, Turner Fisheries, Cheesecake Factory, Palm, CPK ASAP, etc) There are also many eateries on Newbury Street. Across the street from the hotel entrance is a local bar called Bukowski's Tavern. It has a decent selection of booze.

Sheraton Boston does have room dining options. Unfrotunately, due to the lack of an in house restaurants, food options are somewhat starndardized and limited.

Nearby Facilities
Banks, post office, and grocery stores are near by. Shaw Supermarket, which is open 24/7 is conveniently located across the street from the Prudential Center. Simply walk to the skybridge between Copley Place and Prudential Center for the items you forget to bring with you.

Transportation
Public Transportation is extremely accessible in Boston. Take T green line either on E-Medical Center directly to the Prudential Center or Take any green line train other than E to Hynes Convention Center. I personally prefer Hynes Convention Center because it dumps you off Newbury St and Sheraton is only a block away. It is far easier to walk than the often crowded Prudential Center. If you are coming from Boston Logan Airport, simply take the Blue line inbound towards downtown, get off at Goverment Center to connect to the green line.

Hotel
The hotel itself consists of 2 towers: North and South. Club level rooms and lounge are located in the North Tower Floor 26, 27, 28, and 29. The club lounge is on floor 29. The lounge offers complimentary soft drinks, beer, wine, and cocktails for a nominal fee. There are breakfast and evening appetizers served daily. Breakfast consists of the typical continental fare while evening reception includes cheese, veggies with tip, a couple of hot dishes like dim sum, seafood soufle, and desserts. The selection is more than acceptable. There are 2 express elevators that take you directly from the lobby, 2, 3, 4 and 5th floor to floors 26 and above.

Hotel Facilities
The hotel has several (more than 10) computer stations in the lobby free to registered guests. Internet access and printing (up to 5 pages) is complimentary. Simply follow on screen instruction and print your documents (boarding passes, etc) and pick them up at the Concierge. There is also a pool with a retractble roof, gym (charge), sauna, and hot tub. These facilities are on the 5th floor and guests simply have to sign in to access.

Rooms/Suites
I have not stayed in a nonclub or club standard room but I believe the hotel has been completely renovated. Each standard room is equipped with the Sheraton Sweet Sleeper Bed, 27 inch TV, standard alarm clock, work desk, and all new bliss toiletry items .

There are several room types at this property:
Traditional
Club
Executive Suite (Club and non club)
Junior Suite (Club and non club)
Standard Suite (Club and non club)
Corner Suite (Club)
Presidential Suite (4 in the North Tower)

For a minimal amount, I highly recommend booking the executive suite. It is basically the size of 2 standard rooms with a seaparating french doors. I find these room types to be extremely cozy.

I have been fortunate enough to get at least a club corner suite each time I stay at Sheraton Boston (Presidential suite once)

I'll write a little bit more about the club corner suites. These suites are on the 26, 27, 28, 29 corners of the hotel. It encompasses the entire width of the hotel (about the size of 3-4 standard rooms). These club floor suites have a separate oversized master bedroom in one corner with incredible Charles River view. Some have walk in closets, some have walk in kitchenettes. There is a separate sitting area within the master bedroom. There is also a master bath with dual sinks and an additional 1/2 bath in the living room. The living room resides in the other corner of the suite facing the other side of Boston, also an incredible view. There is an entertainment center with a few books on the shelves. There is also a dining table for 4. I find these suites to be extremely cozy and comfortable, not to mention spacious with a stunning view.

The presidential suites are also located in the corners of the hotel on the club floors. The layout is pretty much the same as the corner suites except they are the size of about 4-5 standard rooms. The living room is a lot bigger with a full wet bar, more furniture, 42" inch plasama TV with bose surround sound. The master bedroom is the same of those in corner suite with it has a bose accoustic wave stereo. The one I had was called Fenway, because it faces the Fenway Park in one corner of the suite.

Internet
Internet service is available for $9.95 per day. Wireless internet is unavailable except at the club lounge where it is free. Don't forget that the lobby also has free computer work stations. Also, Newbury Street has an open wireless network (free). It is supported by several merchants on Newbury. One particular place I especially enjoy is the Trident bookstore. It's a very cozy bookstore with a built in cafe. They have incredible breakfast items and delicious coffee and smoothies. Since internet is free on Newbury, I often stay there for a couple of hours sitting by the window enjoying my brunch while the snow falls onto the street. It is absolutely lovely.

Parking
Parking is available at the hotel (really expensive), at Prudential Center, or a 24 hour lot across the main entrance.

Staff/Customer Service
The Sheraton Boston has got to have the best trained employees in the entire Starwood system. Every single employee is extremely friendly, professional, and eager to serve. Everytime I check in, they write down their names and a special extention number for me to call if I needed anything. ^ I am usually preblocked into a suite and late check out is automatically offered. Despite this hotel being an official convention hotel, they NEVER, and I mean NEVER, including when the hotel is sold out and full of conventioners, they still offer 4PM late check out with having to ask. There's only one time where they were unable to offer me a corner suite, and the clerk apologized profusely and explained to me that the conventioner paid them a lot of money and pretty much booked the entire hotel. They put me in an Executive Suite on the Club Floor (which I still found cozy) for the night, but the next morning, immediately contacted me and moved me to my usual Club corner suite ^

This hotel is absolutely one of my favorite hotels. They really deserve recognition. Please add any other information you find helpful and share you experiences.
