The hotel is one of the last examples of true hospitality left in the city. I have stayed here several times, and every time, I am welcomed back with warmth and authentic recognition. Sheila Rice is always warm and responsive. She makes the process effortless. My room was generous in size and pristine. Sometimes I’m lucky enough to have a harbor view, but there really isn’t a bad room in the place. Due to work commitments, i needed to arrive early and leave my luggage and vehicle prior to check in time. When I inquired about the possibility of doing this, Miller PENAFLOR offered an early check instantly. Arrival is so easy and I love having the ability to self park in the building. I can’t say enough about the hotel. In a world where hospitality is a dying art form the Boston Harbor Hotel has the secret sauce-offering true value in an elegant and relaxed atmosphere.

Outstanding hotel on the Boston Harbor. From the moment you pull your car in - an experienced professional staff unpacks your car & from there - Front desk, bellman, housekeeping, restaurant staff are well trained professionals in Hospitality. We have stayed at the Boston Harbor multiple times and are never disappointed. Not all hotels have the high level of standards that this hotel has. Great location - easy walking to multiple venues- Aquarium, TD Garden, the theater district etc.

We love our stays at the Boston Harbor Hotel! Any time we are in Boston this is where we stay! The location on the harbor is perfect. We are able to walk to nearby restaurants and sites. The rooms are always clean and very comfortable…with beautiful views of the harbor! And the staff at the hotel are always welcoming and helpful. The bell service team and the door men are the best! We look forward to our next visit…we will be back!

A phenomenal experience from start to finish! The property is in a fantastic location right on the waterfront and conveniently situated near many of Boston’s best restaurants, shops, and historic attractions. The view of the harbor from the room was relaxing and made the experience feel especially memorable. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was spacious and thoughtfully designed. What truly distinguished this hotel, however, was the level of service. The staff consistently delivered a five-star experience and went above and beyond at every touchpoint. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by the valet team, to the professionalism and warmth of the front desk staff, to the exceptional housekeeping team, every interaction reflected genuine hospitality and attention to detail. We cannot recommend the Boston Harbor Hotel highly enough and very much look forward to returning.

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.
