Boston Harbor Hotel at Rowes Wharf

Why We Like It
The Boston Harbor Hotel is one of the most luxurious properties in Boston. A stroll through the lobby will be greeted with hellos from several staff members who provide top-of-the-line service at all times.
With its 80-foot-tall outdoor archway and rotunda and classic city and harbor views, the Boston Harbor Hotel is synonymous with über-hospitality. The splurge-worthy beauty is as stunning inside as out, thanks to marble arches, framed antique maps, and an ample placement of fresh flowers.
YOU SHOULD KNOW The hotel's older, well-heeled clientele has been coming here for ages.
room
Custom-made desks, Frette linens, flat-panel Smart TVs, in-room tablets and laptop-size safes give the guest rooms, which are definitely on the larger side, a leg up on other city lodgings. Large picture windows have either have a waterfront or city view. (Both are beautiful, by the way.)
YOU SHOULD KNOW Daily shoe shines are complimentary.
bathroom
Marble bathrooms with rainfall showers come with Lorenzo Villoresi Firenze by Italian House La Bottega amenities, perfect for luxuriating in the deep soaking tubs.

The picture of New England sophistication, the Boston Harbor Hotel exudes high-end gravitas. A spacious lobby with plenty of plush seating has a nautical vibe, but not in a cheesy way.

The Water Taxi is also an option for transportation to various spots on the waterfront, including Logan International Airport. However, be sure to reserve it beforehand, because wait times can be lengthy.
