Holiday Bacchanal Dinner

Toast the holiday season with a lavish multi-course Holiday Bacchanal Dinner in Fairmont Copley Plaza's historic lobby.

This holiday season, one of Boston’s most luxurious winter traditions grandly returns. For one exclusive evening on December 17, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., Fairmont Copley Plaza offers guests the rare opportunity to dine in its magnificent lobby for the Holiday Bacchanal Dinner—the only night of the year the hotel hosts a dinner in this landmark space.

The 113-year-old gilded lobby will be transformed into a lavish celebration, where guests dine beneath a soaring 21-foot coffered ceiling and among opulent Italian marble columns—a stylish and historic backdrop for an extraordinary gathering with friends and family.

Inspired by Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, revelry and indulgence, the evening begins with a bubbly reception presented by Champagne EPC and live musical entertainment. Guests then enjoy an elegant five-course menu, crafted by Executive Chef George Lishchynsky and perfectly paired with fine wines. Every detail is designed to create a truly memorable holiday experience in the heart of Fairmont Copley Plaza's lobby.
