Frommer's Review

The Boston Harbor Hotel is one of my favorites for its luxurious accommodations, top-notch service, abundant amenities, and great location. The landmark arch at the center of the 16-story brick complex connects the busy marina off the lobby to the Rose Kennedy Greenway and the Financial District. The clientele runs to demanding -- and satisfied -- business and leisure travelers who enjoy sensational views of the harbor or of the skyline and Greenway from the plush guest rooms, which start on the eighth floor. After a $12-million refurbishment completed in 2007, they have residential-style mahogany furnishings, work desks, muted jewel-toned walls and fabrics, pillow-top mattresses, marble bathrooms, and abundant business features. Rooms with city views are less expensive, and the most desirable units (suites with private terraces) enjoy dazzling water vistas.

Facilities: Excellent restaurant (eclectic, w/15,000-bottle wine cellar); cafe; bar; 60-ft. indoor lap pool; well-appointed health club and spa; concierge; courtesy car; state-of-the-art business center w/professional staff; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; rooms for those w/limited mobility.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
