The hype
Guests are consistently blown away by the room size and cleanliness, often calling it the nicest room they've ever stayed in.
Encore Boston Harbor
$250-600/ nuit
Réservez si You want the glitz, tech, and service of a Vegas mega-resort without the flight to Nevada.
Pourquoi les gens l'adorent
- Massive standard rooms (650 sq ft) with floor-to-ceiling windows
- Free self-parking (a unicorn in the Boston area)
- Luxury water shuttle that makes commuting to downtown an attraction in itself
En bref : It is a shiny, golden spaceship of luxury that landed in an industrial office park—spectacular on the inside, gritty on the outside.
Évalué par @yaraschraier: I came to Boston for a job interview and ended up finding my new favorite hotel. The room was absolutely massive—I could literally live there—and the lobby flowers are gorgeous. It feels just like Vegas but cleaner. Definitely coming back for a proper staycation.
Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit
Reality check
Travelers expecting a walkable city break are disappointed by the isolation and reliance on shuttles or Ubers to get anywhere else.
- You love the Wynn/Encore Las Vegas aesthetic (it's identical)
- You have a car and hate paying $60/night for city parking
- You want a high-end casino experience with your stay
Propreté et entretien
9.8
- Housekeeping: Meticulous. Reviews consistently mention housekeeping staff are thorough, friendly, and invisible.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. The marble is polished to a mirror finish. No grout issues reported.
- Maintenance: Flawless. The property is still relatively new and maintained to Vegas standards (constant touch-ups).
- Linens & towels: Sumptuous. 507-thread-count linens that feel crisp and heavy.
- Odors & scents: Fresh. The hotel pumps a signature 'Asian Rain' or similar floral scent into the lobby; no smoke smell anywhere.

FAQ et astuces cachées
Tout ce que vous voulez vraiment savoir avant de réserver.
Is there a pool?
No. There is absolutely no swimming pool for guests, which is a common shock for first-timers.
How do I get to downtown Boston?
Use the luxury water shuttle to Long Wharf (scenic), the free luxury motor coach to Chinatown/South Station, or a ~15-minute Uber.
Is parking actually free?
Yes, self-parking is complimentary for all guests. Valet costs extra ($45+).
Can I smoke in the casino?
No. The entire resort, including the casino floor, is strictly non-smoking. There are designated outdoor smoking areas.
Is it kid-friendly?
Not really. Without a pool and with a heavy casino focus (21+ areas), kids have little to do besides walk the garden path.
Does the room have a coffee maker?
Yes, rooms typically have a Nespresso machine, but pods can be expensive if not replenished free (check current policy at desk).
Conseils d'initiés
- ✨
The 'Drugstore' gift shop sells beer and wine you can take to your room, which is cheaper than room service.
- ✨
Night Shift Brewing has a 'Kitchen & Tap' inside the resort, but their actual brewery is just down the street and has a cooler local vibe.
- ✨
Ask for a room with a view of the Mystic River if you want to watch the boats; the 'City View' can sometimes be just industrial rooftops.
5 choses à savoir avant de partir
💡The 'Harborwalk' is beautiful but short; it literally dead-ends at a chain-link fence and a power plant.
💡You can hear the planes from Logan Airport if you open your window, but the soundproofing when closed is military-grade.
💡The 'free' coffee on the casino floor is for players only; don't expect a free cup just for walking through.
💡The floral carousel in the lobby doesn't actually let people ride it; it's just for show.
💡Uber drivers sometimes get confused by the pickup zones; use the specific 'Rideshare' signs to meet them.
