The Boston Harbor Hotel is the best in the city hands down. Add the wonderful experience of attending one of the Wine Festival dinners during Jan,Feb,Mar and Apr and you will have a night to remember for many years.

My husband had a evening meeting so I tagged along for the overnight. I felt quite safe and actually sat in the Solas bar and had a drink while watching a football game on the TV. I felt comfortable and welcome. The room was great. The bed was quite comfortable and the room size was generous. The hotel is convenient located with great shopping and restaurants all within a very short distance

A beautiful hotel in a great location, but the rooms do not have minibars. Seriously, a top notch hotel needs a minibar in the room. Four Seasons, minibar? check. Intercontinental? Check. Even the hideous Hyatt in the theater district? Yep, has a minibar. Hotels without minibars thus include: the Red Roof Inn in Fenway; the Howard Johnson's downtown; and, at least according to websites, several local Holiday Inns along the 128 corridor. Oh, and, apparently, the Boston Harbor Hotel.

Booked through the American Express fine hotel program for a business trip, and this turned out to be an outstanding choice.

It is an older property, but all parts of the hotel are recently renovated, look new, and are incredibly well maintained. The lobby and common areas are very nice, and the details in the room are excellent. The size of the room may not be tremendous, but that is expected in a Northeast City.

One of the most polite, professional, and effective staff I have encountered in any hotel worldwide. Very convenient to South Station and the business district, and I suspect other tourist destinations as well. I have stayed at 5 or so other nice hotels in Boston and this was by far the best.

I will note that my dining experience in three different sites was not overwhelming. Food service was somewhat slow, and the food at Meritage was not exceptional. But that should not detract from the hotel itself,
