As the grand dame of Boston’s waterfront, this hotel combines elegance, service, and location to deliver an unforgettable Boston experience. From the moment you are greeted by the bellmen in long coats and top hats, you know that you are in for a luxurious stay. The lobby sits right on Boston Harbor and takes advantage of the location with waterfront dining, music outside in the summer, and water taxi service to Logan and various other destinations. The Rose Kennedy walkway provides guests with easy access to The North End, The Financial District, and Fanueil Hall. It’s also within walking distance to the Aquarium, the Children’s Museum, the Fleet Center and the ICA. The rooms are spacious and the service is outstanding. My kids are fans of the saltwater pool—it doesn’t sting your eyes or dry your skin. Meanwhile, I love the pilates and yoga classes, as well as the nice gym. Kids are greeted with a welcome gift and games, and other amenities like strollers and bed rails are available on request. |

Set right on the recently redeveloped harbor, the Intercontinental is in the perfect spot to take advantage of all the family-friendly Boston activities. You can walk to the Children's Museum, the Aquarium, the North End, The ICA, Faneuil Hall, and many parts of the Freedom Trail. This is my favorite area to stay in Boston.
The hotel is very new, with an upbeat modern decor that is sophisticated and tasteful. The delicious restaurant that opens up to a large lawn, the sushi bar and the spa were big hits. Also, the pool and workout facility are outstanding. It's glass enclosed and provides a view out over the new Rose Kennedy Walkway. |

This historic, classic Boston hotel is perfectly situated just footsteps from Boston Common and the Freedom Trail. It’s also close to both the Waterfront area and Back Bay. What really put this hotel on the map for me is the amazing Freedom Trail Suite! This suite is huge, well-designed, and entertaining for all ages featuring a children's sleeping nook with bunk beds. The room is loaded with coloring books, dress-up clothes, books, and games. It's one of the best family suites I've seen anywhere. There's only one, so be sure to book ahead!

The Seaport Boston Hotel welcomes families with a casual and friendly approach. It’s located on Boston Harbor, just a few blocks from the Children’s Museum and The New England Aquarium, in the trendy Four Point Channel district. The rooms have big windows with gorgeous views of Boston Harbor—perfect for watching the planes and boats. The sun-filled swimming area is a great amenity to help kids blow off steam. There is also a great workout area and daily exercise classes. We appreciated the thoughtful, healthy options on the kids' menu. The hotel is very allergy-friendly with “Pure Rooms” as well as gluten-free dining options.
