The Boston Harbor Hotel deserves all of the accolades in the posted reviews in TripAdvisor. The Hotel is simply extraordinary and top notch in every detail. The only curious aspect of our recent stay was related to the in room refreshments. There was the usual assortment of beverages and candy placed on what appears to be a scale along with the following: "Please note: Items removed for more than 1 minute will be charged." This means even if you just pick up an item and don't consume it, you may be charged. If this happens, contact the front desk for assistance. I assume that this provision is in place to prevent theft. But, is this really necessary in a five star hotel?

I enjoyed two great meals at the Sea Grille, and my flight was delayed, so I ended up staying overnight. Aubrey and Maya in the restaurant gave me exceptional service and served me a delicious meal. The hotel is well appointed with a great location and view, but what set it apart was the hospitality and service. Even the bellman noticed I was stranded, and offered me access to the health club if I needed to clean up or change clothes. I will definitely stay here again.

This is my first review ever of a hotel. I am writing it because of how perfect our stay was here. From the friendly front desk to the continued checking in on us to the cleanliness of the room, the level of care and attention to detail was exceptional. If you are looking for relaxation by the water but access to the city, this is the hotel for you. The proximity to the historic sites, duck boat and little Italy for dinner was highly convenient.

The most wonderful stay at the Boston Harbor Hotel. Service impeccable from housekeeping to the front desk, the concierge to room service all will go over and above with great appreciation for you being a guest. I have never had a room made up like they do it and have stayed in some really nice hotels. I asked room service for a plate and forks and they came up with water in fancy glasses with ice, cloth napkins salt and paper all on a silver platter. Asked for the champagne they gave us for our anniversary to be chilled for the next day they brought up a frig. Ice was brought up everyday for our champagne and for our ice bucket. At breakfast we got carrot cake to help us celebrate. Also, the creams etc they give you are wonderful. They even had complimentary slippers to take home. There is so much to say about this hotel just go! It is on Rowes wharf the perfect spot to enjoy seeing the ocean, hop on any cruises and just walk from wharf to wharf. Also, the North end is a short walk away with so many Italian restaurants. Loved this hotel and will be back again to see the things we did not have time to see. Check out Boston and choose this hotel, it is awesome.

The Boston Harbor Hotel never dissappoints! We got married here last year and came back for our anniversary. They made everything so special! From champagne and strawberries in the room, and even a room upgrade, they never miss. The service is exceptional and its our favorite place to stay!

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.
