InterContinental Boston
Boston has no shortage of exquisite hotels, and yet the InterContinental is a particularly entrancing jewel in the crown. Even the most “classic” rooms are showstoppers, with postcard-worthy skyline views and luxe touches, from the plum velvet armchairs to the in-room coffee makers for your morning cuppa. To stretch your wings like a founding father might have, we recommend booking the 600 square foot Junior Suite; each one has a deep soaking tub and prime panoramas over Fort Point Channel from the separate living room. History obsessives will want to have at least one drink at RumBa, the hotel’s waterfront bar that peers out on the exact spot the Boston Tea Party went down in 1773. (Their grilled New York Strip steak with thyme truffle French fries would put tears in the eyes of any ye olde Son of Liberty).
A gleaming tower on Fort Point Channel with a tranquil spa and enormous 24-hour gym with floor to ceiling windows, an authentic Provencal brasserie, and a waterfront bar.
Missing a club floor. The Club InterContinental here includes a lounge (complete with a flickering fireplace) where you can indulge in topnotch service and gratis treats galore.
There’s nothing you love more than splashing around after a day of exploring, and the hotel has an indoor pool.
It’s not a vacay unless you’ve booked a spa treatment. This afternoon, you’ve treated yourself to two: including a healing honey agave massage and collagen facial. Bliss.
