Intercontinental Boston By Ihg - A waterfront luxury hotel with indoor pool, spa, and harbor views in Downtown Boston

Occupying a prime spot on Boston Harbor's Fort Point Channel, this 5-star Boston hotel features 424 rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and marble bathrooms. The waterfront property houses a 2500-square-foot heated indoor lap pool, SPA InterContinental offering body treatments and massages, and a health club equipped with Peloton bikes. Three dining venues include Miel Brasserie serving French cuisine with organic ingredients, RumBa featuring specialty rum cocktails, and Sushi-Teq combining traditional sushi with a tequila bar. The Intercontinental maintains a rooftop apiary with 150000 bees, using their honey in cocktails and spa treatments. Two ballrooms - Rose Kennedy and Abigail Adams - provide waterfront meeting spaces. Located in Downtown Boston, the property sits within walking distance of the Boston Tea Party Ships Museum, Faneuil Hall Marketplace, and the New England Aquarium.

Pros

Rooftop apiary producing honey for cocktails and spa treatments

Both ballrooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows with harbor views

Health club equipped with Peloton bikes and comprehensive fitness equipment

All rooms include marble bathrooms and waterfront or city views

Cons

Valet parking costs $65 per 24 hours

“The waterfront location, near the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum, offers a unique perspective on the city. I particularly note the commitment to sustainability, including a rooftop apiary. A recent guest's high praise for the front desk service underscores a dedication to guest experience that clearly resonates.”

Decent stay with a few issues

prompt attention special attention unbeatable location misleading view missing bathrobe missing shoeborn

I appreciated the prompt attention from the staff. Esteban. The hotel's location is unbeatable (it made getting around so easy).

The view from our room was not quite as promised. We were told it would be a water view. the view mainly overlooked an adjacent building. The room lacked bathrobes and also a shoeborn.

Lovely Stay!

great location easy access helpful staff quick access

I attended multiple weddings here. The location is great with quick access to everything. It's mere minutes from both Faneuil Hall and The North End. The staff was helpful. I really appreciated the short walk to the Boston South Station that offered quick access to the airport using the Silverline.

The breakfast buffet service required signing a 50 USD per person bill. It seemed strange as it was already included in the room rate.
