In 1900, the hotelier and impresario Lucias Boomer (best known as the owner of New York's Waldorf - Astoria) began work on what was to be the most luxurious hotel in New England. Eight months and $1,100,000 later, The Lenox, the tallest building in Boston at the time, opened its doors in the heart of Back Bay and a proud tradition was born.
Over the next century, The Lenox became a home-away-from-home to luminaries in entertainment, business, sports, and the arts - and came to occupy a prominent and cherished role in Boston society.
Since 1963, the Saunders family has been at the helm of The Lenox, overseeing day-to-day operations and a series of meticulous restorations (including one in 2003 that earned worldwide accolades for historic preservation and design.)
An unwavering commitment to: total guest comfort, innovation and a strong sense of community responsibility characterize the Saunders family's management approach. For example, the industry leading environmental efforts of The Lenox have received numerous prestigious awards for pioneering luxury within ecotourism including a Gold Medal from President George H. Bush in 1992.
