The Boston Harbor Hotel has always been one of my favorite hotels. It is expensive, but always worth the price. The service is superb - from first check in to the restaurants to the check out. Our room was upgraded, and it was so comfortable and clean. What a pleasure to stay here again. We can't wait to go back.

Fantastic location overlooking the harbor, which even in a snowstorm was spectacular. Very olde world, crystal chandeliers, ornate furniture, however bedrooms surpisingly modern. Stayed in an executive double which had a good sized seating area, and (bizarrely) one flat screen tv in bedroom area, and an old fashioned one in the sitting area. Good sized bathroom with dressing room attached. Nice (if rather dark!) bar, and food in bistro very good although menu did not change the five days we were there. Service was excellent, staff very polite and friendly without being familiar; very Bostonian!

Easy walking distance to Faneuil Hall and downtown, and less than $5 by cab! Only real disappointment was that we were unable to get a slot for a spa treatment of any descriptioon the whole time we were there (5 days); seemed to be inadequately staffed. Overall though one of the best hotels I have stayed in in Boston.

My young son and I stayed here for three nights while visiting Massachusetts for a family function. Usually we stay in a hotel closer to our relatives on the south shore; however, because I wanted my son to experience some of downtown Boston, we booked our room at the Boston Harbor Hotel. The location couldn't have been better -- we walked everywhere, but then again, Boston is definitely a walking city -- and we had a wonderful view of the city. (Most guests might want a harbor view room, but we live on a very large lake and my sons tend to be more intrigued by tall buildings and a busy downtown view when we're traveling.) We loved everything about the hotel, especially our beautiful and impeccably clean room and the fantastic service from every single hotel employee (front desk, concierge, doormen, valet, gift shop, room service, maid service, etc). Our only regret is that we didn't spend MORE time at the hotel, and in the wonderful city of Boston. We look forward to returning to the Boston Harbor Hotel.

Walking into this hotel was unbelievably refreshing after the hapless amateur service I received at my previous hotel in suburban Boston. The minute the concierge addressed me I knew this hotel knew what it was doing. Every employee is truly helpful and gracious, without seeming put-on. It's just an amazing feeling to know that the hotel actually cares that you are there.

The room decor reminds me of my grandparents and that's a GREAT thing-- the furniture is solid and of classic 1920s oriental style, which is very rare in this day of techno mod style that gets so boring after you stay in trendy hotel after trendy hotel. I loved feeling like I was stepping into an older time, without feeling like I was sacrificing any comfort or cleanliness.

I had a junior suite with a city view-- kind of wish I'd upgraded to the harbor view, but oh well. The room is lovely.

All in all there are just great vibes about this place. I will try to stay here again (though next time I might not be on business with my company paying the tab). But the I think the price is worth it for the great style and service.
