Set in its own private enclave with harbor views and landscaped
courtyard, this stunning hotel offers guests an urban sanctuary in
the heart of the city. The narrow streets and historic wharves made
up Boston's first neighborhood and shaped the early growth of the
city. Today, steeped in 300 years of history, warehouses and
shipyards have been reborn as residences and restaurants, complete
with harbor side walking paths and new urban parks. The modern
shoreline offers an exciting gateway to the city.
