The 21 Best Hotels in Boston

"The Envoy is a perfect microcosm for everything that's great about Boston at the moment. Located just across the water from South Station and the city's top historical sites, the Envoy has a sleek, all-glass exterior that blends in with its neighborhood—the thriving Seaport District—while reflecting the old buildings across the river. Outside the entrance, bronze lettering etched in the sidewalk appropriately spells out "This Way Forward,”and inside and you'll find yourself in a sweeping, art-filled lobby. In a city with so much history, the Envoy is a fresh breath of modernity." - Shannon McMahon, Todd Plummer
