Dining

Grill 23 & Bar
The historic Salada Tea building, with its marble columns and soaring ceilings, is a beautiful setting for outstanding steaks, fantastic seafood and one of Boston's best wine lists.Tip: For a quieter setting, request a table upstairs.
Neptune Oyster
Architectural details such as etched glass, subway tiles and a pressed-tin ceiling give Neptune Oyster its charming atmosphere. Tip: The vitello tonnato sandwich made with tuna tartare adds a creative twist to this classic.

The Butcher Shop
A tribute to European boucheries, The Butcher Shop is both a neighborhood shop and a cozy wine bar serving hand made charcuterie, antipasti and bistro-inspired dishes. Tip: It is the perfect location for pre and post theater at the Boston Center for the
Scollay Square
The dining room features memorabilia harking back to the neighborhood's burlesque history. The red velvet cushions and ornate mirrors enhance the experience. Tip: The Tassel Spinner cocktail and lobster macaroni and cheese are some of our favorites.
Chez Henri
A French-Cuban fusion menu in the warm and inviting dining room and delicious Cuban sandwiches in the bar make this intimate spot just outside Harvard Square worth a visit. Tip: The Cuban sandwiches sell out fast and are only available at the bar.
Elephant Walk
This understated, upscale restaurant just outside Kenmore Square features an outstanding menu of French and Cambodian specialties. A variety of menus catering to many dietary restrictions is offered.
Kingfish Hall
The 'dancing fish' is the focal point of the kitchen at this Dali-esque and whimsical Todd English restaurant at Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Tip: Request a scallop-shaped booth upstairs for an entertaining experience.

Great Stay Overall

The experience was wonderful. Room service was prompt and the food was excellent. The spa and gym on the 2nd floor is very nice too albeit pricey. Many high-class restaurants and bars on first floor. Didn't like the fact that there was no late check out option that was complimentary. 50 dollars extra for 2 hrs more.

Luxurious hotel, bland location

We stayed here while visiting colleges in the area. We weren't familiar with Boston and didn't have much time to spend exploring. There were no obvious places to eat that we could find within walking distance. We thought that the hotel was more centrally located. We had the option of paying more for a water front room but did not take it as we were only spending one night. We didn't realize that the Boston Fire Dept. was directly across the street. That being said, it was a beautiful hotel.

Hotel Review

We were promised a room with a king bed but after spending all day walking in the city we were told that the room would not be available until the next day. When we discussed this with the manager, a room miraculously appeared. Not very happy with the checkin staff.

Poor management

For this 1st class name hotel, look like people that work there were hired from the street..we keep having problems with the room and bills that charged to us which were not from us..also they kept put wrong name in our room. We hope they did not try to add any charge from s.o. else to our credit card after checkout. Another things are with the room price we paid, there is no amenities like coffee maker in the room..no free internet..everything you needs will have to pay extra with high price like internet $6 for 15 min. use...parking $39 for each time we park...morning coffee..needs to go downstairs to purchase...etc.. Also the hotel is across from the fire station so expect to hear the siren everyday..even in high floor.

Beautiful hotel on water

Close to T lines and can walk to Fanuiel Hall and other tourist spots including Aquarium. Beautiful lobby and very nice rooms with 2 FULL (not queen) beds. Have to ask for ask for coffee maker and 4 towels. Everything else was great in room. Nicee bar with great area outside. Sixteen year old son could not use workout room which was disappointing. Fire house across the street and was loud at times. Fire alarm went off at hotel about midnight one night. Barking Crab and Legal Seafood are in walking distance and very good. Many good places to eat in North End and GREAT pastry shops. Again, in walking distance. Took the duck tour and it was the worst one I have been on. this was my 3rd. Tagged on one of the walking tours and it was great. Went on whale watching tour and saw several whales. It was good. Climbing to the top of the Bunker Hill is worth the view. Great city with alot to do. ENJOY! Still a great trip and place to stay!

Excellent choice. Hotel was lovely

Hotel was in the best location..near wharfs, yet not in crowded area (Tall Ships was in town.) Clean, new, modern, and helpful staff. Good choice, which I would not have found if not for Orbit deals. 5 star was good.
