It was built in 1891 on Huntington Avenue and Exeter Street, and has the distinction of being the city’s second-oldest hotel in continuous operation. The Copley Square Hotel opened on July 4, 1891. At the time it was one of the finest first-class hotels in the city, and its location was at the edge of the most aristocratic part of Back Bay, making it one of the most desirable places at which to stop.
The hotel was convenient for the railroad stations, trading centers, places of amusement and the electric car service. The Copley Square Hotel was built near what is present day Copley Square. The hotel was the election headquarters for President William McKinley, and has hosted many celebrities including sports legend Babe Ruth and jazz artists Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and Duke Ellington.

The glass John Hancock Tower was built in 1976 as Boston's tallest building. The modern building designed by I.M. Pei contrasts with the neighborhood's 19th century buildings. The construction of a modern skyscraper at Copley Square, a site with many important historic buildings, sparked an intense debate. The architecture firm of I.M. Pei and partners proposed a sleek 60 story tower with a glass curtain wall, a stark contrast with the 19th century romanesque Trinity Church across the street. The combination turns out to work well: the glass wall of the 60 story John Hancock Tower reflects its surroundings and does not interfere with it. The John Hancock tower was built in 1976 and at 241 meters (790ft), it is still the tallest building in Boston.
Old Hancock Tower reflected in the new one panoramic view on Boston, but unfortunately it is now closed. Adjacent to the modern John Hancock Tower is the 1947 Old John Hancock Tower. John Hancock Building Baseview by ~JohnDoe6 on deviantART.
