This is my preferred hotel in the Seaport District and I book it every chance I get when I'm attending a conference at the WTC or BCEC. The area continues to grow, with new restaurants that are within walking distance of the hotel. I booked the hotel as part of a conference in January, and had asked for a suite... More

We just returned from a convention in Boston held at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center. We could have selected from three hotels associated with the convention - we selected the Renaissance but won't select it next year when the convention returns to Boston. I should have read reviews of this hotel before booking it. I completely agree that this... More

I picked this hotel for the view of the Boston harbor for New Years Eve fireworks. It is in a district next to downtown called the Seaport district that has several nice restaurants in the area such as Legal Harborside. The hotel itself is new, has nice decor with service/amenities that you'd expect from this large chain. The location is... More

Full disclosure: First Reniassance I have gone to in the US, after a couple very pleasant and rather luxurious experiences in China. I'm not sure how their branding is positioned here or what should I expect from them. This is a very nice, comfortable and clean hotel. Views of Boston are fantastic from the upper floors. Our room was spacious.... More

Stayed here in Jan for several days the room was very average -- nothing special. A view staring into the windows of a condo complex across the street. Shades had to be drawn the entire time. No bath, just shower. Nice and large LCD tv. Water bottles were $4 each - usually you get 2 complimentary at other hotels. The... More

This wasn't the first time we stayed at this hotel. We were able to use more services this time. Found the staff in RLife to be very friendly. The pool was ver nice and clean. Still deserves a top rated review from our family. More

Very convenient if you are attending a conference.. about 4 blocks or so away from the convention center. Hotel room has mini refrigerator and nice view. Nice restaurants nearby. Overall quite nice, one thing to mention is that the concierge was worthless. More

It is in a part of Boston that is undergoing a lot of urban renewal. The area was formally just large empty parking lots adjacent to the World Trade Center and a couple of restaurants that overlook Boston Harbor. Now there are 3 new hotels, including this one, several new restaurants including the test kitchen for Legal Seafood, and a... More

Spent two nights before Christmas celebrating my birthday in Boston. I asked for a room on a high floor away from the elevator and got an exceptional room with a great view of Boston and the harbor. The room was well maintained and designed, the bathroom had a glass enclosed shower instead of a tub and shower curtain. The front... More

This is a very nice hotel. The staff is exceptional and very willing to help. It is a short walk to the center of Boston. Restaurant is fair but overpriced. Rooms are spacious and clean. More
