Copley Square Hotel (47 Huntington Avenue, Boston, 617.536.9000), are some of the modern touches that make the space a downsized version of the ultra-trendy hotel bars currently dominating the local nightlife scene. Sousa Design — the creative minds behind the interior design at Gypsy Bar and Saint — have paired interesting surfaces (slatted wood, a metallic ceiling, gleaming mirrors) with muted colors, to sleek effect. As sad as we were to see Domani exit the dining scene, its replacement confirms that old adage: good things come in small packages.
