What used to be the Ritz Carlton Hotel located directly on the Public Gardens (take a ride on a swan boat) has just reopened as the Newbury Hotel. I haven't been in the newly renovated place but the legendary Ritz Carlton bar now looks like it's called The Street Bar. A very pleasant spot to take a break from touring. Try to grab a seat by the window.
The actor Jack Lemmon's mother wanted her ashes placed on the bar of the old Ritz Carlton!
