This is my first review ever of a hotel. I am writing it because of how perfect our stay was here. From the friendly front desk to the continued checking in on us to the cleanliness of the room, the level of care and attention to detail was exceptional. If you are looking for relaxation by the water but access to the city, this is the hotel for you. The proximity to the historic sites, duck boat and little Italy for dinner was highly convenient.

The most wonderful stay at the Boston Harbor Hotel. Service impeccable from housekeeping to the front desk, the concierge to room service all will go over and above with great appreciation for you being a guest. I have never had a room made up like they do it and have stayed in some really nice hotels. I asked room service for a plate and forks and they came up with water in fancy glasses with ice, cloth napkins salt and paper all on a silver platter. Asked for the champagne they gave us for our anniversary to be chilled for the next day they brought up a frig. Ice was brought up everyday for our champagne and for our ice bucket. At breakfast we got carrot cake to help us celebrate. Also, the creams etc they give you are wonderful. They even had complimentary slippers to take home. There is so much to say about this hotel just go! It is on Rowes wharf the perfect spot to enjoy seeing the ocean, hop on any cruises and just walk from wharf to wharf. Also, the North end is a short walk away with so many Italian restaurants. Loved this hotel and will be back again to see the things we did not have time to see. Check out Boston and choose this hotel, it is awesome.

The Boston Harbor Hotel is a special place. It is both elegant and inviting. I have stayed here several times and it is always an exceptional experience. The location, the property, the staff, the rooms and the amenities are all 5 star. They graciously accommodate special requests and go above and beyond to make sure your stay is perfect. It is certainly the best In Boston.

The room is fantastic. The hotel is in a great location with a beautiful view of the water. There's a great health club in the basement with a huge pool, hot tub and sauna. And most importantly the staff and housekeeping are top-notch. One of the best stays that I've ever had in a hotel. Will definitely book again!!
