Taj Boston Firewood Menu
The Fireplace Butler will lay and light the wood fire of your choice from these selections:

• Birch Wood: Birch produces a strong heat and burns quickly, creating a warm and cozy interlude before an evening's entertainment on the town
• Cherry Wood: Fragrant and slow burning, the glowing colors from this fire will enhance your In-Room Dining experience
• Oak Wood: A lightly scented, long-burning wood, oak produces a comforting, cozy warmth for a long winter's night
• Maple Wood: The sweet aroma of maple evokes the essence of a New England winter in the heart of Boston
• Taj Blend: An off-the-menu proprietary combination of woods for a most delightful and aromatic fire
