Stayed 2 nights while in Boston for a conference. Upon arrival at 8:30 am we were greeted by an amazing and friendly front desk staff that allowed us to check into our room at that early hour! We were very impressed! The room was beautifully appointed with very comfortable beds. The hotel is ideally located on the waterfront, right down... More

My daughter and I recently stayed one night at the Boston Harbor Hotel. We had a beautiful room facing the harbor on the 15th floor. The staff was very courteous and helpful. We had dinner at Meritage on the outside patio. The food was very good if pricey. We will definitely stay here again. The only downside to the whole... More

I stayed here with my husband for 3 nights while he had business in Boston. It is a beautiful hotel, loved being on the water! Good location for the Financial District. We had a regular city view room, which was very nice. However, we had issues with our TV. The network channels wouldn't work. We had to have someone come... More

I used to work in this building and love this hotel. If you love the waterfront, the Boston Harbor Hotel is a great spot. Here is the sole reason they received a lower score: any modern Boston hotel should have flawless internet. It isn't hard to achieve. Yet, throughout the hotel, there are massive wireless internet connectivity issues. Again, for... More

Hotel staff were very courteous. Mentioned we were celebrating a birthday-returned to our room to find champagne and desserts-very nice touch. Took a dinner cruise on the Odessey-left the dock right outside the hotel. Worth every penny to stay here.

Stayed on a combined business/leisure trip with my 11 year old son. We were put in a room with facilities for disabled people, presumably because it had two double beds. All well and good. However, the bathroom was a real problem. For obvious reasons there was no bath (which is fine but reception/reservations might have mentioned it) and it was... More
