The 5 Best Hotels in Boston

"Sitting right along the water, I find Seaport Hotel Boston an ideal base for exploring the waterfront and nearby attractions like the ICA and the Boston Children’s Museum, with a sleek, contemporary design and lots of natural light. The hotel boasts an 11,000-square-foot 24/7 fitness center with group classes, a heated indoor pool, a steam room, and a peaceful garden area, plus three on-site eateries: Aura for sit-down breakfasts, Seaport Café for grab-and-go, and TAMO Bistro + Bar for a locally inspired dinner menu that even uses herbs and honey from the hotel’s rooftop garden and bee colony. Every room offers great city or harbor views and is spacious and comfortable with pillowtop beds, a pillow menu, weighted-blanket options, reading lamps and USB ports on the headboards, a work desk, 55” HD TV with streaming, Keurig coffee maker, mini-fridge, and laptop-sized safe. Bathrooms are large with marble countertops, fog-free mirrors, walk-in showers, and quality bath products. I appreciate the thoughtful amenities and waterfront location." - Matthew Kepnes
