For decades, Boston's luxury hotels stuck with traditional decor. Heavy textiles and dark wood furnishings harkened back to the city's roots and stayed in lock step with the classic architectural details found in many buildings. But styles -- and interior design standards -- have changed dramatically in recent years. Savvy travelers and locals are demanding more: contemporary interiors that dazzle, while still nodding to the city's history. It's a look that's showing up everywhere from the Colonnade to the Liberty to the Millenium (pictured).
