Boston Harbor Hotel

This is an expensive hotel which is in a good location on the harbour but has some odd characteristics. I had a good-size harbour view room - I think it was called a Junior Suite but could be wrong - with a comfortable bed, but the room was rather lacking in basics. For example there was nothing with which to make tea or coffee. When I asked, it seemed to throw the staff into a lot of confusion; and it was only after a couple of attempts that I had an electric kettle delivered so that I could make a hot drink. Also, there was one of those fridges where if you lift anything out you get charged so it was really hard to store the milk for my tea/coffee! Again this seemed to be hard for the staff to deal with. So, it wasn't very homely at all. During the full day I stayed there I was thirsty, from jet lag, during the afternoon, and wandered down to the restaurant to see if I could get a green tea bag. (By this stage In knew it would be pointless ringing down for one!) But I waited at least ten minutes to find that they didn't have any - which I assumed they would, from breakfast - and they actually 'manufactured' one from gauze which tasted pretty awful. I ended up going along to a 7-11 to look for supplies. There's one about 5 minutes' walk away. The hotel seemed quite empty, which is probably explained by the high prices and lack of service. There's a breakfast buffet which is fine. On the other hand, the hotel has a room with a wonderful collection of historic maps, which I would probably have visited anyway while in the city! And it is quite near parts of the Freedom Trail. And very near the airport. I think the wifi was free but I can't remember; it worked fine, anyway

We visited Boston for the weekend and spent 3 nights at the Harbour Hotel. Staff were friendly and welcoming and personalized the greeting by wishing me a happy birthday. Our room was on the 10th floor with harbour view which was beautiful and blue. The room was spacious and comfortable, nice bathroom with a nice range of toiletries. Lovely rainfall shower with plenty of water to make it enjoyable, unlike some hotels! On our first night they delivered a little birthday cake to the room which was a nice touch. Hotel is well positioned for access to all tourist attractions in the city. Just a couple of mins walk to Quincy Market and North End, maybe 10-15 mins walk to Boston Common and Beacon Hill. Health Club is very nice, good pool with hot tub, steam room and sauna. I had a facial with Iris which was amazing, so relaxing and enjoyable. Travel time is only about 15-20 mins to the airport. Perfect!

Superb. Excellent hotel in all aspects. Fabulous location. Beautiful rooms and staff are professional, polite and helpful. The hotel has a feeling of sophistication the minute you enter the opulent reception. It is not cheap but here you certainly get what you pay for and it is worth the extra.

The service was impeccable: from fetching me & my bags from the car on a rainy night to breakfast delivery to the room the next AM! Room was gorgeous & spacious with 2 flat screen tvs! The bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I've slept in. Slippers & robe awaiting your arrival. Very quiet. Wine, water, cashews & other treats available in the room plus full mini bar (pricey!) I was not on the harbor side which is a fantastic view but the city view was just fine & gorgeous in its own right! There's a bar/restaurant on site but didn't try it. Breakfast in the AM was delivered as requested but was very pricey so be careful. A few extras in the room made my stay very welcoming. Very convenient location.

The hotel hosted our 2017 Suntrust Dealer Event. From the time you stepped into this hotel the services were world class. There is no better location off the Rowe Wharf and the harbor. Diversity of activities within easy walking distance. Excellent views, bar and wonderful restaurant. We had a junior suite which had wonderful views in two directions and was well appointed. Would definitely stay here on any visit to Boston!
