Boston Harbor Hotel

Boston Harbor Hotel is a notable hotel overlooking the historic Boston Harbor and is part of the Rowes Wharf which is a waterfront structure in downtown Boston, Massachusetts. Boston Harbor Hotel is best known for its multi-story arch over the wide public plaza stretching between Atlantic Avenue and the Boston Harbor. At this water’s edge, one can find an awesome marina, Boston’s top restaurants, a water transportation terminal that includes MBTA boat services linking the wharf to Hingham while water taxis run to and from Logan International Airport and cruise boats. The Boston Harbor also wields a floating stage that hosts free concerts and movies during the warm summer months.

Boston Harbor Hotel has been awarded the Mobil Travel Guide Five Stars, it is a member of Preferred Hotels and Resorts Worldwide and has proven worthy of such distinguished honors as the “Best Hotel, General Excellence” by Boston Magazine as well as the “World’s Best Places to Stay” on the Gold List by Condé Nast Traveler.

The location at the foot of Fort Hill that is occupied at present by Rowes Wharf was in the past occupied by the South Battery (also known as Sconce) which was constructed by the area’s first settlers in 1630 to protect the newly created colony from French, Dutch and Spanish looters. In 1764, John Rowe, a marine merchant whose shipment of tea played a lead role in the famous Boston Tea Party, bought the property and built the first Rowes Wharf for commercial shipping. Services from the Rowes Wharf were extended to include a ferry that connected Rowes Wharf to the newly opened railroad in 1875 and in 1901, an elevated and subway rail system that connected Rowes Wharf with the rest of Boston. Due to signs of aging coupled with new demands on transportation as well as commerce during the middle part of the twentieth century, most activities in Rowes Wharf came to a standstill and remain dormant until 1980s.

In 1984, Rowes Wharf became alive and vibrant again with the erection of the striking Boston Harbor Hotel which has served as its gateway ever since. Today, Rowes Wharf and the Boston Harbor Hotel are considered among the most desirable destinations in Boston where dignitaries from all corners of the globe anchor their yachts at the picturesque marina while lodging at the hotel and where internationally known events such as Operation Sail and the BT Global Challenge take place.

All of the accommodations at Boston Harbor Hotel are located on the eighth through the sixteenth floors, they all feature the city’s most luxurious comforts and come with spectacular city skyline or breathtaking harbor views.

Each one of the two hundred and thirty guest rooms (22 single bedroom suites, 96 deluxe rooms include separate sitting spaces, 108 superior rooms, 1 Greenway Suite, 1 Admiral’s Suite, 1 Governor’s Suite and 1 Presidential Suite) at the Boston Harbor Hotel was designed with historic Boston elegance.
