Taj Boston Prepares for Hotel's Wood-Burning Season

---

(BOSTON, MA) -- As autumn approaches, the Fireplace Butlers at Taj Boston are readying the landmark hotel's wood-burning fireplaces for the opening of Fireside Season on October 15. A selection of guestrooms and suites and several executive meeting rooms at the hotel at Arlington and Newbury streets overlooking the Public Garden feature the welcoming fireplaces, which include complimentary services of a Fireplace Butler, who will build and light your preferred wood fire until April 1, 2011.

Taj Boston offers 42 suites with wood-burning fireplaces, available from $375 per night. These gracious accommodations feature classic furnishings and 42-inch flat screen televisions, perfect for a cozy night of movie viewing or romantic in-room dining beside the fragrant wood fire of your choice. Book a fireplace suite and you'll also receive a $50 dining credit per stay to enjoy your favorite selections from the in-room dining menu.

The Fireplace Butler will build and light the wood fire of your choice from Birch Wood, which produces a strong heat and burns quickly, creating a warm and cozy interlude before an evening's entertainment on the town. Other ingredients are Cherry Wood, known for being fragrant and slow burning and Oak Wood, which offers a lightly scented, long-burning wood that produces a comforting, cozy warmth for a long winter's night.

Another popular wood is Maple, noted for its sweet aroma of that evokes the essence of a New England winter in the heart of Boston. The Taj Blend is an off-the-menu proprietary combination of woods for a most delightful and aromatic fire.

Besides the hotel suites, the Taj Boston also has two townhouse-style meeting rooms that feature gracious settings for intimate occasions complete with the inviting ambience of a wood-burning fireplace. These rooms are popular for engagement parties, rehearsal dinners, bridal and baby showers, birthdays and anniversary celebrations, or a refined executive board meeting, with chef-designed menus and wine pairings customized to your personal preferences. All such events include the services of the Fireplace Butler to prepare your favorite wood-burning fire
