Summit, New Jersey3 contributions
THE BEST OF BOSTON! Without a doubt, this hotel is well beyond 5 stars. I will compare it to the Newbury, Westin, Copley, or any of the new seaport area upscale hotels. The facts are clear. It is not glitzy or gaudy. Simply speaking, the Boston Harbor is an elegant place to stay that is warm, safe, meticulously clean and peaceful. The service from the doormen to the front desk is genuine when they wish you a good day. The valet service has done a commendable job improving their quality and has set a new bar that other hotels can't match. Even if you don't drive around Boston, which I can't blame you, just overnight parking can be expensive. To make things reasonable, the hotel has a park yourself public garage attached to the hotel. Valet parking is reasonable with the quality of service they give you. The rooms are clean and quiet. The room service is excellent from a bucket of ice to a late night snack. The maid service is efficient and meticulous. Hotel staff is accommodating to any need. They can even have your newspaper delivered to your room for you the next morning. I like the Boston Globe and my wife, The New York Times. Both were delivered. While I do miss the nice green apples that were part of their hallmark, COVID has changed many things, and I can understand. You can be assured of quality service, safety, and comfort. You will NOT be disappointed.

The Boston Harbor Hotel is a 5 star waterfront hotel on Rowes Wharf. My Harbor suite was so appealing, with a grand footprint, large picture windows for abundant natural light and views of the Boston waterfront. Configured with 1-bedroom king guest room a separate living space and marbleized bath outfitted with roomy shower & tub. The sandy beige palette, spacious work-desk and high-tech room appliances added a residential feel to the surroundings. The Rowes Sea Grill serves all dayparts and afternoon tea. The menu is slanted in favor of New England seafood items with selections like: Seafood Towers of various sizes, Baked Stuffed Lobster, Yankee Pot Roast, and others.........I selected a flavorful duo of Coastal Clam Chowder and Crispy Fried Brussel Sprouts. The Rowes Wharf Health Club sports a 3 lane indoor lap pool, steam room, sauna and 24-hour modern gym. I look forward to the new version of the Club when renovations are complete. So, if you are looking for a extravagant waterfront hotel with exquisite views ............then try the...........Boston Harbor Hotel....... .......for a memorable experience.

I want to share with the Tripadvisor family the incredible experience we had during our New Year's weekend stay at the Boston Harbor Hotel. From start to finish, the hotel exceeded our expectations, making it a memorable and delightful getaway. We booked through American Express Fine Hotels & Resorts and as expected, received the benefit of an early check-in. The check-in process was seamless, with the staff displaying the perfect blend of professionalism and warmth. We were greeted with genuine smiles and a sense of eagerness to make our stay exceptional. Our room, overlooking the harbor, was elegantly appointed and exuded a sense of luxury. The attention to detail in the room's design and amenities reflected the hotel's commitment to providing a first-class experience. The room was so comfortable, one could spend hours sitting back, reading, and gazing at the beautiful harbor view. One aspect that truly stood out was the exceptional level of service provided by the hotel staff. From the housekeeping team ensuring our room was immaculate to the service provided in the Rowes Wharf Sea Grille and the Rowes Wharf Bar, every interaction was characterized by professionalism and genuine care. It's evident that the Boston Harbor Hotel places a premium on creating a welcoming and personalized experience for its guests. Special mention goes to Susan and Janice in the Grille and Mary Ellen in the bar for their excellent service and at the same time making us feel like we are members of the BHH family. Hospitality at its best. As we bid farewell to 2023 and welcomed 2024 at the Boston Harbor Hotel, we couldn't help but reflect on the wonderful memories created during our stay. The luxurious accommodations, outstanding service, and the magical New Year's Eve celebration highlighted by the perfect view from our room of Boston’s First Night fireworks on the harbor made our trip truly unforgettable. We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to the entire staff at the Boston Harbor Hotel for their commitment to excellence. Without a doubt, we look forward to returning to this remarkable establishment for future celebrations and special occasions.

We have stayed at BHH in the past and have always had a good experience. This experience was a mixed bag at best. We booked through Amex fine hotels and were able to get into our room early which was great. Upon arriving at our room my wife was frustrated because she had called in advance and paid for a welcome package wishing me a happy 50th birthday and nothing was there. She went to the front desk and was told that they would take care of it which they did. We then went to grab soft drinks from the mini refrigerator and the Pepsi in the very front that I pulled out was an open can that appeared to be filled with water. I assume that the previous guests did this to avoid charges and no one checked. We then left for the day and when we returned 3 kids were racing in and out of the room next to us to another room down the hall screaming and slamming the doors. This went on most of the night and when we went to breakfast the next morning the youngest kept running into my wife while we waited for the elevator. Breakfast was terrific and Maria was outstanding. She even notified the front desk about our issues the night before. When we checked out the front desk was aware of the screaming that went on all night and the other issues but simply apologized and offered nothing more. Hopefully, this is a one time bad experience but we will be back in Boston for New Years and just booked a different hotel.

Just a really nice, professionally run luxury hotel. Public rooms are well appointed and the dinning room, complete with a terrace overlooking the harbor, is a nice place o enjoy the excellent cuisine. The rooms are good sized and also well furnished. Pricing isn't inexpensive but is fair for what you get.

We had a wonderful time at the Boston Harbor Hotel. The rooms are very nice and I love the decor in the common areas (classic New England sea life with a slightly modern feel). We had a harbor view which was wonderful and the bathroom was spacious. The location is great for some of the more touristy things (short walk to the north end and Quincy market). The service is also impeccable, great concierge that provides nice restaurant recommendations.

Management needs to learn the difference between a pet and a service animal. Whoever at Forbes and AAA rated this place so high needs help. This is not a 5-star hotel. $1000/night with a view of a wall! Not even a usable mini fridge in the room. HVAC barely works; have to open the window to cool the room down enough to sleep. We have been to many Auberge Resorts, Ritz, Four Seasons, and other boutique hotels; this place is more like a Hampton Inn compared to them. Way overpriced. Just because you have two-ply toilet paper in the bathroom doesn’t make you a 5-star hotel!

Currently staying here for 2 nights. Arrived at 3.30pm after a 34 hour journey from Western Australia to be told that my room wasn’t ready (check in time is 3pm). Was told to sit and wait in a chair near the lifts. Attitude from reception staff was very poor - just said hotel is full so I would have to wait. After 30 mins I spoke to the concierge who was much more helpful and agreed to look after my bags so I could go out and grab a coffee. Came back and waited again. Saw numerous people arrive and be given rooms straight away. At 4.30pm I approached the concierge again and said I would like my bags back and I would find another hotel as I was desperate to rest after my journey. The concierge then found a room for me. Such a bad first impression. Room is very very dated. Shower over the bath with a shower curtain is not something I appreciate particularly in a supposed 5 star hotel. All staff apart from reception are excellent but can’t make up for such a bad start. I won’t be back

Every single interaction with every single hotel employee was polite, professional and very helpful. The hotel is in an ideal location. The view of the harbor and the city from our 14th floor was spectacular. Dinner at the Sea Grille was outstanding. We very much enjoyed and appreciated the Boston Harbor Hotel.
