Why We Like It
If you're looking to stay directly in East Boston, or in the proximity of Logan International Airport, the Hyatt is definitely the best option.
Fodor's Expert Review
Located on the waterfront in East Boston, the Hyatt Regency caters mostly to guests flying in and out of Logan International Airport, which encompasses almost half of the East Boston neighborhood. While Eastie is largely a residential area rather than a tourist-y one, the Hyatt is a real gem in the area, and shouldn't be overlooked. Half the rooms at the Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor have sweeping views of either the city skyline or the ocean; the others overlook planes taking off and landing. Another bonus: East Boston is one of the best food neighborhoods in the city, if you're willing to get out and explore.

What's Nearby
Getting Around
While the Hyatt isn't walking distance from downtown Boston, some of the city's biggest attractions are just a couple T stops away. As a major convenience, the hotel operates its own 24-hour shuttle to all Logan Airport terminals and the airport MBTA stop on the Blue Line. There is also a water taxi that can take you from the hotel to Downtown Boston, though you may have to end up waiting a few minutes for its arrival. If you're driving in East Boston, be conscious that the area can be a bit confusing to navigate.
Restaurants
East Boston is one of the best neighborhoods for food in the city of Boston. For what many call the best pizza in the city, head to Santarpio's (10-minute drive), an Eastie institution. If you want hefty plates of pasta that'll have you needing a nap, head to Rino's Place (9-minute drive), but be prepared to wait in line...for a while. (You have a much better chance at getting in quicker for lunch than dinner.) For traditional Mexican cuisine, try Angela's Cafe (9-minute drive), also a neighborhood favorite.
Bars
KO Pies at the Shipyard (14-minute drive) is a very fun spot serving Australian meat pies (and a few great vegetarian ones, to boot). They've got a fun and casual patio where guests lounge and drink beer, but keep in mind that they close at 10 p.m. and aren't open on Mondays and Tuesdays. Cunard Tavern (11-minute drive) is a new restaurant and bar in the Jeffries Point neighborhood that serves plenty of craft beers. For a back-to-basics dive bar filled with locals, head to Eddie C's (11-minute drive) in Maverick Square.
