$$$-$$$$, Downtown
Fodor's Review:
A modern, 17-story tower of gleaming glass and steel, this new (2007) South Boston waterfront property is connected to the megasize Boston Convention & Exhibition Center and is predictably a magnet for the men and women in suits. Rooms are handsome with a neutral palette of whites, tans, and pastels, punctuated with cherrywood furnishings. Most -- some 85% -- have water or skyline views. When you're not in meetings, work out the kinks at the state-of-the-art fitness center, with a slew of up-to-date machines, an indoor pool, and steam and sauna rooms. Pros: Lobby stations with wireless check-in, Silver Line from Logan takes you directly to hotel, heavenly beds. Cons: Clusters of conventioneers and meeting-goers crowd the place, too new and too sterile for some tastes, South Boston waterfront neighborhood is still up-and-coming, rooms are pricey during top conventions.
