Best for meetings and shopping — massive meeting footprint and direct access to The Shops at Copley Place.
When Hyatt Regency Boston wins: Choose Hyatt if you want to be in the Theater District, value a downtown location with direct indoor MBTA access, or prefer a hotel with a heated saline lap pool and a compact meeting footprint for smaller conferences.
When Boston Marriott Copley Place wins: Choose the Marriott if you need a large hotel with extensive conference and ballroom space, direct access to Back Bay shopping (Copley Place/Prudential area), or want more in-house restaurants and meeting rooms.
Bottom line: Both are four-star, business- and meeting-oriented hotels in central Boston. Pick Hyatt for downtown theater/Transit convenience and a smaller, more central property; pick the Marriott for scale, on-site meeting capacity and Back Bay shopping access.
