Copley Place – Simon Shopping Destinations

This listing covers Copley Place as one of Simon’s shopping destinations, a Back Bay mall with more than 50 stores that bills itself as Boston’s premier luxury shopping destination. Shoppers come for designer fashion, fine jewelry and specialty boutiques under one roof, and the climate-controlled corridors make it an easy stop in any season. Simon Property Group, one of the largest shopping mall operators in the United States, runs the center.

Copley Place opened in 1984 as part of a large mixed-use development over the Massachusetts Turnpike, combining retail, offices and hotels. Covered skybridges connect it to the Prudential Center’s shops and restaurants, so visitors can move between the two complexes indoors. The center sits close to major transit and a few minutes on foot from Copley Square, Trinity Church and the Boston Public Library, so it fits easily into a day of sightseeing.
