Why People Love It

8.7⭐2830 reviews
  • The heated rooftop pool and hot tub are open 365 days a year
  • Direct underground connection to the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center
  • Seven distinct dining and drinking venues on-site, including a legit French brasserie

Quick Take: A tale of two hotels: a luxurious convention resort in one tower and a cramped, concrete micro-hotel in the other.

Reviewed by @Michaela_romanosmith: I stayed here for a weekend getaway and the rooftop pool scene is incredible. The room views are stunning, but honestly, having fresh French pastries at Cocorico downstairs was the highlight for me. Highly recommend for a chic Boston trip.

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

The hype

Travelers rave about the pool and the modern vibe, but many are shocked by the tiny size of the Artist Tower rooms.

Reality check

You might have to pay a fee to use the sauna even if you're a guest, unless you book a spa treatment.

  • You are attending a conference at the BCEC across the street
  • You prioritize a high-end pool scene regardless of the season
  • You appreciate having multiple quality restaurants without leaving the building

Cleanliness & Maintenance

8.5
  • Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some recent reviews mention missed restocking of toiletries.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Modern and mold-free, but the open-concept sinks in Artist Tower splash water everywhere.
  • Maintenance: The hotel is new (2021), so peeling paint and broken fixtures are rare.
  • Linens & towels: Crisp and high quality in Patron Tower; occasional complaints of stained sheets in recent reviews.
  • Odors & scents: Lobby smells expensive (signature scent); rooms are generally fresh with no mustiness.

Before you book

Good to know

  • The 'Destination Fee' includes a $20 spa credit, but it's use-it-or-lose-it.
  • Coffee makers are NOT in Artist Tower rooms; there is a communal station in the hallway.
  • The hotel is cashless, so bring your cards.

What to pack

  • Swimsuit (even in February) for the heated outdoor pool
  • Flip flops for the walk from the room to the pool deck
  • Earplugs if you are staying in the Artist Tower

Room Genie

Best picks

  • Patron Tower King: Traditional layout, carpeted, larger (350+ sq ft), and quieter.
  • Harbor View Rooms: Ask for a high floor facing the water to avoid staring at the convention center wall.

Rooms to avoid

  • Artist Tower Studio: Micro-loft style with the sink in the sleeping area and very limited storage.
  • Rooms near the elevator bank in the Artist Tower due to noise.

Room Request Genie – copy & paste

“I am requesting a room in the PATRON TOWER, specifically a high floor away from the elevators. Please avoid the Artist Tower as I require a traditional bathroom layout.”
