Fodor's Review:

One of the most splurge-worthy places to stay in Boston, this waterfront hotel's dramatic entryway is an 80-foot archway topped by a rotunda, so eye-catching that it qualifies as a local landmark. The lobby, too, is stunningly elegant, with marble arches, antique maps, and a huge tumble of fresh flowers. Guest rooms sport marble bathrooms, custom-made desks, Frette linens, high-end radio/CD players, flat-panel TVs and laptop-size safes. Amenities abound—there's even complimentary daily shoe shines. The older, well-heeled clientele appreciates these niceties, along with the fabulous views of the city and Boston harbor. Meritage restaurant has a unique, wine-inspired menu that pairs small plates with appropriate vintages, under light fixtures that mimic a starry sky. At the health club you can request workout clothes if you forgot yours. Pros: readers praise the impeccable service, beautiful rooms and views, easy walk to Faneuil Hall, water shuttle runs from Logan Airport to the back door of the hotel. Cons: gym equipment somewhat outdated, spa gets booked, so may not have availability.
