Frommer's Review

InterContinental broke into the Boston market with a splash in 2006, when the luxury brand opened its first New England hotel. The 22-story glass-sheathed building (the hotel occupies the bottom 12 floors) sits between the Rose Kennedy Greenway and Fort Point Channel, not far from the Financial District and convention center. It's about half a block from Boston Harbor, and guest rooms on the east (back) side have lovely water views. All are decorated in polished contemporary style, with plush earth-tone fabrics and dramatic artwork that make the accommodations feel more New York apartment than posh hotel room. Rooms are large enough to hold a comfy chaise and oversize work desk, and bathrooms are huge, with separate tubs and showers. The spa, health club, and varied dining options (not to mention the condos that share the building) amplify the residential feel. With over-the-top amenities and genuinely welcoming, helpful service, the InterContinental brand consistently earns repeat business from its predominantly corporate clientele. At these prices, I'd expect nothing less.

Facilities:Restaurant (24-hr. Provençal brasserie); 2 bars (sushi/tequila, rum/champagne); indoor pool; 24-hr. health club; spa; concierge; business center; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; club-level rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility
