We have been to Boston sooo many times and stayed many places (the Langham, Louis XV, Ritz Carlton, Taj, Swisshotel.) This is our new favorite. We have five children, including two tots. The adjoining rooms were very spacious, the staff were very nice to the kids. They were given coloring books at check-in and got very nice milk and cookie platters every night.
My husband and I had both stayed here on different business trips a decade plus ago and the hotel overlooked the infamous "big dig," a real eyesore. Even if you don't get a harbor view room (which, sadly, we did not), you now overlook the city and beautiful green space.
Our package included breakfast, which was buffet. Hate this. With lots of kids, this is not fun ... the constant up and down having to fetch for everyone. I'm sure for others this is a perk. They originally sat us sooo far away from the buffet. When we insisted on relocation, they politely accommodated us.
We have our own boston babysitter, so my husband and I had dinner one night at the hotel's restaurant right on the harbor. It was a beautiful spot, very peaceful yet people watching and boat watching made it fun. Service was great, food was average.
Valeting parking is $44!!! Only slightly less to self-park.
It is a bit of a hike from here to Boston Common and Public Garden, but certainly doable for healthy adults and older children. Much more convenient to Quincy Market, North End nad Faneuil Hall.
