Boston Harbor Hotel is hands done the BEST place to stay in Boston This was our 4th stay this year. The hotel never disappoints . The staff are s attentive to your ever need. From the welcoming Valet to the superb front of the house staff, its always a pleasure to arrive. The rooms offer sweeping views of the city or the harbor.The location on Boston Harbor while also overlooking the Kennedy Greenway is perfect for both the business traveler as well as families. The hotel pool and fitness center offer all the amnesties of a well equipped gym. From the nearby Aquarium to the Freedom Trail there are endless possibilities for tourists of all ages.. The North End and the plethora of Italian restaurants are just a leisurely walk away. The housekeeping staff keep the rooms spotless and are always just a quick call away if you need an extra towel. From breakfast in the Sea Grill to a late night drink in the Dark Bar , the hotel offers a complete dining experience in house for those that don't want to venture far. From a weekend get away or to a family vacation, the hotel is our go-to in Boston. I can not recommend it it any higher We are already looking forward to our next stay, there is no better choice in the city.

Amazing hotel in a superb location. Our room was on the 9th floor and had a good view of the harbour. I'm sure if you're lucky enough to get a higher room, the view will be even better. Overall the room was comfortable, clean and very well maintained. We had a minor delay when checking in as our room wasn't available until 4pm, but the hotel did acknowledge that and apologised accordingly. We were lucky enough to be staying at the hotel during the America 250 celebrations and had an amazing view of the fireworks from our room. We had breakfast at the Rowes Wharf Sea Grille 3 times and the food and service was always great (Janis our server was amazing). You might want to consider reserving a table even for breakfast though as it does seem to get very busy at weekends and a lot of tables were already reserved.

Our stay at the Boston Harbor Hotel was exceptional from beginning to end. The property itself is elegant, beautifully maintained, and perfectly located, but what truly distinguished the experience was the outstanding level of service. As American Express Fine Hotels + Resorts guests, our benefits were recognized immediately and handled seamlessly. We greatly appreciated the room upgrade, thoughtful amenities, and the way the entire experience felt elevated without ever feeling transactional. Every benefit added meaningful value to the stay and reinforced why the Fine Hotels + Resorts program can be so worthwhile at the right property. The staff consistently addressed us personally, anticipated our needs, and responded quickly and graciously to every request. The service was polished, warm, and attentive across every interaction. It was clear that the team takes genuine pride in creating a memorable guest experience. The Boston Harbor Hotel delivered exactly what a five-star luxury hotel should: a beautiful setting, excellent accommodations, meaningful AmEx FHR recognition, and truly exceptional customer service. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it without hesitation.

We had a wonderful stay! The hotel is top notch with amazing service! Their hospitality started at check in with the young gent who upgraded our room to a nice harbor view since the hotel was not at capacity and knew I was hoping to make this a special visit with my daughter. Room service provided extra waters. At check out it was the first time I experienced where they did not need to assign a time rather just made note of a late check out which was helpful since our flight was delayed due to a snow storm the night before. We departed at 1pm so it was not anything unusual but they made it pain free to request.
It's a great addition to your portfolio of fine hotel and resorts that you provide on your site and where you offer your specials.
