In celebration of America 250, Fairmont Copley Plaza invites guests to experience Boston through an extraordinary lens of art, history, and place in partnership with the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA).
Named for one of America’s most influential early portraitists, John Singleton Copley, Fairmont Copley Plaza occupies the original site of the Museum of Fine Arts in Copley Square, where the Museum first opened before relocating in 1909 to its current home on Huntington Avenue. This shared geography is more than history; it is a lasting reflection of Boston as a center of art, culture, and civic life.
That legacy comes full circle this year as the MFA unveils its newly reinstalled 18th-century Art of the Americas galleries in honor of America 250. The presentation includes a reimagined focus on Copley’s revolutionary-era portraits, alongside iconic works such as Paul Revere’s Liberty Bowl and new acquisitions that broaden the story of the Americas.
Guests are invited to experience this connection firsthand with a journey from Copley Square to the MFA's Huntington Avenue galleries, following in the footsteps of the countless works of art that made the Museum's historic move more than a century ago.
Your stay begins in the hotel’s signature Museum of Fine Arts Suite, where curated details reflect the spirit of this unique partnership. Enjoy private round-trip transportation to the Museum, admission for two, and a commemorative gift created to mark this milestone moment in American history.
Together, Fairmont Copley Plaza and the MFA invite guests to immerse themselves in Boston's enduring cultural legacy through a stay that seamlessly blends history, art, and modern luxury.
