The latest newcomer to the city is The Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel located in the Seaport District offers amazing views of Boston Harbor. The oceanic designed hotel offers 450 rooms with a Starbucks on the first level along with Capiz Bar, a hot after-work gathering spot for a freshly muddle mojito. Renowned Chef Michael Schlow has recently added another restaurant to his roster of establishments – 606 Congress, the hotel’s on-site restaurant that features modern American cuisine (think local sea scallops, Brandt Farms ribeye and lobster club sandwiches). Be sure to request a suite for a waterfront view.
Nearly eight years ago, the InterContinental Boston hit the hotel scene running and hasn’t stopped to look back. With more than 400 guest rooms and even a collection of private residences (for those who never want to leave), the all-glass contemporary property designed to resemble a Tall Ship, has an unbeatable location. The international dining scene here is impressive – start off with a rum cocktail while listening to Latin and Caribbean music at RumBa, order up a spicy tuna roll at Sushi-Teq and then end the evening with a relaxing dinner at the French brasserie known as Miel. Don’t miss a walk in the InterContinental Gardens, a two-acre waterfront promenade along Fort Point Channel. Click
