Excellent five star hotel. Great bar and facilities. Friendly staff and concierge. Housekeeping and turn down service were especially well done. In-room breakfast checked all the expected boxes, fresh croissants and OJ. Rooms were very New England, go for harbor view. Also love the scent of the bath products. Would stay here again. Only minor complaint is I prefer a separate mini fridge for personal wine chilling. The mini fridge here is solely an electronic mini bar.

Long weekend with my wife for work to Boston. First time visitors. It was cold and dreary but the hotel was fantastic. Great service, worked with us to get out ahead of the storm and were very accommodating to us the entire short visit. Would recommend.

We were here for a seminar luncheon last week 5/19/2026. Everyone on the staff that we interacted with was helpful with directions, friendly with vegetarian food choices and options and polite. The drinks were delicious, iced tea was fresh! (Not everyone makes good iced tea!) I look forward to coming back again!

We had a great stay at Boston Harbor Hotel. The service was excellent throughout, and the staff were warm and friendly. One detail I really appreciated was that when I requested extra amenities during our stay, they arrived beautifully wrapped in a small gift bag, which was a very thoughtful touch. The hotel also has a lot to offer beyond the room itself. The lobby flower arrangement is beautiful, the pool is a good length for actual laps, and the wellness area stood out to me. It has an infrared sauna with 12 different light settings, which is something I rarely see in hotels, plus a hot tub and steam room. The gym is also well equipped and very usable. The location is extremely convenient, and we loved the view from our room overlooking Boston Harbor. Seeing the seagulls and being able to open the window a bit for fresh air made the stay even more enjoyable. Downstairs, the Dandelion café downstairs was another highlight- good chai latte, a solid breakfast selection, and very convenient. The only thing I’d note is that the rooms do not feel especially modern. To me, the hotel has a sense of history and a bit of an old-world feel—almost like a grand hotel from an earlier era. I personally still found it charming, but if you strongly prefer sleek, modern room design, this may not be your favorite style. Overall though, it was a wonderful stay!

We stayed here for the Boston Marathon and as others mentioned, the service and accommodations were incredible. The staff were also so friendly and welcoming. There were so many things that we didn't expect that they offered - pre-race pasta dinner menu (paid but still was great to not have to go anywhere), shuttles to the expo and start line, a pre-race goodie bag in the room, snacks set out in the lobby the morning of, etc. We had to be back to work so checked out on race day, and they even let me come back and shower in the fitness center before we hit the road. Truly one of the best stays we've ever had at a hotel, and big kudos to the incredible staff for making it so. We'll definitely be back! :)
