Boston
Contemporary luxury waterfront — polished without being stuffy. The recent renovation leaned into Italian-inspired dining and cocktail culture, which gives the F&B program a coherent identity. Business travelers dominate the week; weekends attract couples and families doing Boston proper.

Why It Matters
Conde Nast Traveler #1 Best Hotel in Boston 2025, and #24 worldwide. Sits adjacent to the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum on one of the most historically charged parcels in the city. One of the few downtown Boston hotels with a genuine waterfront terrace, an indoor heated lap pool, and a full-service spa all under one roof.
A 21-story glass tower sitting right on the Fort Point Channel, steps from where the original Boston Tea Party went down. The InterContinental Boston is the city's big-league waterfront option: 424 redesigned rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, a proper spa, four distinct dining concepts, and a golf simulator when the weather turns. Conde Nast Traveler readers named it #1 in Boston and #24 in the world in 2025 — the views across the harbor alone help make that case.
