> Apparently there are even two such hotels. I should clarify slightly, not that it really matters. "Copley Place" is an invented name for the new mall/office/hotel development over the Turnpike air-rights, punning on / borrowing from an old place name, "Copley Square", which is nearby and is associated with class. Two of the four sides of Copley Square are the Boston Public Library formal entrance and Trinity Church. The "Westin Copley Place" was part of the Copley Place mall/office development, is connected by air-bridge, to same, but uses a real street address (10 Huntington Ave). The "Marriott Copley Place" is actually in the Copley Place towers (not sure if it's tower 1 or 2?) but uses 110 Huntington Ave as its business address, go figure. Nearby, the former "Copley Plaza Hotel", now "Fairmont Copley Plaza" is actually on Copley Square, while the "Copley Square Hotel" confusingly is not, it's up a side street, 47 Huntington (with side entrance on Exeter St connecting to Copley Square's plaza; 2nd oldest in Boston).
