The Fireplace Butler at the Taj Hotel Boston

It's that time of year again-- when we dream about cozying up to a roaring fireplace, hot drink in hand. Leave it to the Taj Hotel Boston-- the historic hotel located at the corner of the fashionable Arlington and Newbury streets overlooking the Public Garden-- to spoil guests with a complimentary fireplace service. Just a quick phone call away, the Fireplace Butler can help you choose the type of wood you prefer-- like cherry wood to scent your room, or birch for a quick-burning fire to enjoy while sipping aperitif cocktails before dinner-- and then light the blaze in your fireplace. Here's the full Firewood Menu:

Birch Wood: After ice-skating on the Frog Pond in the Boston Common, return to your room and thaw in front of the glowing fire. Birch produces a strong heat and burns quickly, creating a warm and cozy interlude before an evening’s entertainment on the town.

Cherry Wood: Here in historic Boston, George Washington certainly couldn’t tell a lie about this firewood. Fragrant and slow burning, the glowing colors from this fire will enhance your In-Room Dining experience.

Oak Wood: In the early evening, retire to your room and enjoy this lightly scented, long-burning wood. It produces a comforting, cozy warmth for a long winter’s night.

Maple Wood: The sweet aroma of maple will fill the room with the ambiance of a country inn. It evokes the essence of a New England winter in the heart of Boston.
