Purchase Tickets & View Menu

Fairmont Copley Plaza’s iconic Holiday Bacchanal Dinner returns in grand fashion this festive season, reviving one of Boston’s most luxurious and sought-after winter events after a five-year hiatus. For one exclusive night, guests will have the rare opportunity to dine in the hotel’s magnificent lobby. The 112-year-old gilded space will be dramatically transformed into a lavish celebration, where diners will indulge beneath a 21-foot coffered ceiling and alongside opulent Italian marble columns—a stylish, historic setting for an unforgettable gathering with friends and family.

A bacchanal dinner is a feast inspired by Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, revelry, and indulgence. In this spirit, guests will be welcomed with a champagne reception and musical entertainment, followed by an elegant five-course menu crafted by Fairmont Copley Plaza’s executive chef, Zaid Khan, and paired with fine wines. Every detail is impeccably planned to create a truly memorable holiday evening in the heart of Boston. For a glimpse of the hotel’s last Bacchanal dinner in 2019, view photos on Instagram.
