Copley Place

Copley Place is an upscale shopping center in Boston’s Back Bay, home to more than 50 stores and billed as Boston’s premier luxury shopping destination. Its mix leans toward high-end fashion, jewelry and designer boutiques, along with other retailers and dining. The fully indoor setting makes it a year-round option for local shoppers and out-of-town visitors, especially during Boston’s colder months.

Opened in 1984 and operated by Simon Property Group, Copley Place is part of a mixed-use complex that includes offices and two major hotels, the Westin Copley Place and the Boston Marriott Copley Place. Enclosed walkways link it to the Prudential Center, letting shoppers move between the two centers, and their combined shops and restaurants, without stepping outside. Back Bay Station, served by the Orange Line, Amtrak and commuter rail, is right next door, making the mall easy to reach without a car.
