This is a lovely hotel. The service could not have been more attentive. From the moment you pull up to the curb, they cannot do enough for you. The lobby smells wonderful. The people are so nice. The location is great - right on the water, which makes for a nice stroll, and very close to the North End. The rooms are spacious and the king room had a nice sitting area. Very clean, and nice turn-down service. The one thing I noticed was that the bathroom door didn't close completely, you had to shut it kind of hard. So maybe it's due for a couple of little tweaks, but other than that, it was a perfect stay. Would definitely stay here again and it was worth the cost.

We stayed at the Boston Harbor Hotel for a wedding being held there. Our experience was top notch! Everyone from the valet, front desk, bellman, and servers were true professionals. The room was amazing and very clean. I would absolutely return for future trips!

Everything was phenomenal from room service to housekeeping. Check in and check out. Thank you for the amenity in the room for my birthday/ anniversary!

We just got back from a fantastic trip! Our daughter was on April break so we spent the night. The entire time was phenomenal, starting with Rabie at the door, to a smooth check-in, to the helpfulness of Guest Services and Housekeeping! Their staff went above and beyond to make it a great experience. However the highlight for us was the health center, we spent lots of time in the pool, hot tub and sauna. Other highlights: clean room, water views (got to see so many planes from Logan - but not noisy!), great location (we were headed to aquarium and it was an easy walk). We will definitely be back soon!

My stay at the Boston Harbor Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From arrival to departure, the level of service was seamless, intuitive, and deeply personalized—truly reflective of its Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star distinction. Arriving by water taxi directly to Rowes Wharf set the tone for a memorable stay, and I was graciously upgraded to a harbor-view room that offered stunning, ever-changing views. Every detail throughout the stay felt thoughtfully considered—from impeccable housekeeping touches to the warm and attentive concierge team. Dining was equally impressive. The in-house café, Dandelion, is a must-visit for its exceptional pastries and coffee, while breakfast at Rowes Wharf Sea Grille was another highlight, and The Dark Bar for an exceptional nightcap. The hotel’s wellness offerings are among the best I’ve experienced, with a fully equipped fitness center, Peloton bikes, recovery technology, and luxurious spa-style amenities. What sets this property apart is its consistency—every moment feels intentional, every interaction genuine. It is a true luxury retreat in the heart of Boston, offering both a sense of escape and effortless access to the city.

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.
