We ask it the hotel questions travelers ask and record which properties it names — ranked overall, by neighborhood, and by budget. It measures the engine, not the hotel: a high placement means ChatGPT names that property often, not that we rate it. ## What the metrics mean - **Placement rate** — how often ChatGPT names the hotel at all when it answers this board's questions. - **Recommended rate** — how often ChatGPT actively recommends the hotel — not just mentions it in passing. - **Top-pick rate** — how often the hotel is ChatGPT's top pick, first on the list. Percentages come with a 95% confidence range in the published data. Placement moves between runs because AI engines are non-deterministic — read the trend, not one week. ## Citywide board — top 20 | # | Hotel | Neighborhood | Recommended rate | Placement rate | Top-pick rate | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | The Newbury Boston | — | 64.8% | 65.9% | 1.1% | | 2 | XV Beacon | — | 52.3% | 53.4% | 10.2% | | 3 | The Liberty, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Boston | — | 51.1% | 52.3% | 0% | | 4 | Boston Harbor Hotel | — | 48.9% | 50% | 2.3% | | 5 | Raffles Boston | — | 43.2% | 43.2% | 9.1% | | 6 | The Langham, Boston | — | 37.5% | 38.6% | 2.3% | | 7 | Four Seasons Boston | — | 31.8% | 31.8% | 3.4% | | 8 | The Verb Hotel | — | 27.3% | 27.3% | 4.5% | | 9 | Four Seasons Hotel One Dalton Street, Boston | — | 25% | 25% | 12.5% | | 10 | Fairmont Copley Plaza | — | 25% | 26.1% | 2.3% | | 11 | The Whitney Hotel Boston | — | 25% | 26.1% | 1.1% | | 12 | Omni Parker House | — | 19.3% | 19.3% | 18.2% | | 13 | Mandarin Oriental, Boston | — | 18.2% | 20.5% | 0% | | 14 | Hotel Commonwealth | — | 14.8% | 14.8% | 1.1% | | 15 | The Atlas Hotel | — | 12.5% | 12.5% | 2.3% | | 16 | The Lenox Hotel | — | 12.5% | 12.5% | 1.1% | | 17 | The Eliot Hotel | — | 11.4% | 11.4% | 6.8% | | 18 | The Envoy Hotel, Autograph Collection | — | 11.4% | 11.4% | 0% | | 19 | Beacon Hill Hotel | — | 8% | 9.1% | 2.3% | | 20 | InterContinental Boston By IHG | — | 8% | 9.1% | 0% | Full boards, including every neighborhood and budget board, are in the data files below. ## Boards - Overall — all Boston — 40 hotels (`__head__`) - Cambridge — 22 hotels (`district:cambridge`) - Downtown Boston — 33 hotels (`district:downtown`) - The Boston suburbs — 47 hotels (`district:suburbs`) - Budget-friendly — 75 hotels (`price:budget`) - Luxury — 41 hotels (`price:luxury`) - Mid-tier — 72 hotels (`price:midtier`) - Allston & Brighton — 13 hotels (`zone:allston-brighton`) - Back Bay, Copley Square & Newbury Street — 20 hotels (`zone:back-bay`) - Beacon Hill & Charles Street — 6 hotels (`zone:beacon-hill`) - Brookline & Coolidge Corner — 10 hotels (`zone:brookline-coolidge-corner`) - Central Square & Cambridgeport — 14 hotels (`zone:central-square`) - Charlestown & the Navy Yard — 16 hotels (`zone:charlestown`) - East Cambridge — 9 hotels (`zone:east-cambridge`) - Fenway & Kenmore Square — 13 hotels (`zone:fenway-kenmore`) - Harvard Square — 9 hotels (`zone:harvard-square`) - Kendall Square & MIT — 12 hotels (`zone:kendall-mit`) - Logan Airport, East Boston & the airport ring — 16 hotels (`zone:logan-airport`) - Somerville & Assembly Row — 20 hotels (`zone:somerville-assembly`) - South Boston (Southie) — 18 hotels (`zone:south-boston`) - The Financial District & Downtown Crossing — 20 hotels (`zone:financial-district`) - The Longwood Medical Area — 10 hotels (`zone:longwood-medical`) - The North End & the waterfront — 19 hotels (`zone:north-end-waterfront`) - The Seaport & the Innovation District — 16 hotels (`zone:seaport`) - The South End — 11 hotels (`zone:south-end`) - The Theater District & Chinatown — 14 hotels (`zone:theater-chinatown`) - The West End, TD Garden & North Station — 9 hotels (`zone:west-end-north-station`) ## Other markets - New York City: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/new-york/ - Los Angeles: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/los-angeles/ - San Francisco: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/san-francisco/ - Miami: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/miami/ - Chicago: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/chicago/ - San Diego: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/san-diego/ - Washington, DC: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/washington-dc/ - Denver: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/denver/ ## Data, method and reuse - JSON: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/boston/ranking.json - CSV: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/boston/ranking.csv - Methodology and disclosures: https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/methodology/ - License: CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) - Cite as: Sigtrip AI Hotel Ranking, https://sigtrip.com/ai-hotel-ranking/boston/, measured 2026-09-04.
