The Restaurant at Boston Harbor Hotel

"One of the best hotels in Boston faces the harbor and the Rose Kennedy Greenway, but the fantastic location is just one reason to stay here: Others include the superb service, a great pool and spa, excellent restaurants, and plush, luxurious rooms"

"The excellent on-site restaurant, Meritage Restaurant + Wine Bar, offers some of the city's best views of Boston Harbor and a unique Vineyard to Table concept, and a menu that pairs dishes with appropriate vintages"

"Once industrial, this renovated neighborhood now houses artist studios and the latest enterprises of the city’s celeb chefs, from Barbara Lynch’s cocktail bar, Drink, to Ming Tsai’s Asian-fusion restaurant, Blue Dragon"

"For a slightly cheaper luxury alternative, the Langham Hotel is a nearby historic option with a Chinese-inspired spa and a swanky restaurant inside of the old Federal Reserve Bank"

"The excellent Meritage restaurant offers modern global cuisine"

""Attention to detail is paramount" at this "classy" property on Rowes Wharf that exudes "waterfront luxury" and offers "breathtaking views of the harbor" from "lovely" rooms equipped with free WiFi, marble bathrooms, high-end toiletries and special amenities for kids and pets; "top-notch" service, a "fantastic" spa and "outstanding" restaurant warrant the "expensive" rates, as does the "fabulous" location, which offers "easy access to Downtown"; P"

"Rowes Wharf Bar has the atmosphere of a gentlemen's club, while the stunning Meritage restaurant offers first-class dining; the Intrigue Café is more informal"

"Alternatively, Rowes Wharf Sea Grill is an elegant, well-priced New England surf-and-turf restaurant with an adjoining bar and a privileged terrace that provides the fortunate with alfresco dining"
