InterContinental Boston by IHG
Boston, United States · ★★★★★ · 9.4/10 Exceptional · guest rating
Luxury hotel on Boston Harbor with a spa, indoor pool, harbor-view patio and walking access to South Station and the city's main sights.
InterContinental Boston is on Atlantic Avenue, facing Boston Harbor, at the edge of the Seaport neighborhood. The glass-fronted building was renovated in 2022 and offers a patio overlooking the harbor, a spa with a steam sauna and an indoor pool that works well for families. South Station is about a four-minute walk, which makes getting around the region by train easy.
It is a good base for exploring the city on foot: the Boston Tea Party Ship, the New England Aquarium and Faneuil Hall Marketplace are eight or nine minutes away. The hotel has a restaurant, bar and fitness center, and accepts pets with conditions to confirm. Ask for a harbor-view room if you want a more open, unobstructed outlook over the water.

The setting
The hotel rises over the water, and its spaces make the most of the harbor light. Rooms are modern, with roomy beds and glass-and-granite bathrooms, some with a deep soaking tub. The harbor-view patio is a pleasant place for a drink outdoors when the weather cooperates. The event rooms are spacious and bright, which is handy if you are traveling for work.
What we like
- Location on Boston Harbor, in the Seaport
- South Station a few minutes on foot
- Spa with steam sauna and an indoor pool
- Hotel renovated in 2022 with modern interiors
- Aquarium and Faneuil Hall less than ten minutes' walk
Worth knowing
- The Seaport is often very busy during events and on weekends
- In winter the patio and harbor view get less use
Don't miss
Stroll along the harbor to the Boston Tea Party Ship and the New England Aquarium, then loop around Faneuil Hall Marketplace. If you have time, walk to Boston Common, about eleven minutes away, to see one of the city's best-known parks.
