Dining

Grill 23 & Bar
The historic Salada Tea building, with its marble columns and soaring ceilings, is a beautiful setting for outstanding steaks, fantastic seafood and one of Boston's best wine lists.Tip: For a quieter setting, request a table upstairs.
Neptune Oyster
Architectural details such as etched glass, subway tiles and a pressed-tin ceiling give Neptune Oyster its charming atmosphere. Tip: The vitello tonnato sandwich made with tuna tartare adds a creative twist to this classic.

The Butcher Shop
A tribute to European boucheries, The Butcher Shop is both a neighborhood shop and a cozy wine bar serving hand made charcuterie, antipasti and bistro-inspired dishes. Tip: It is the perfect location for pre and post theater at the Boston Center for the
Scollay Square
The dining room features memorabilia harking back to the neighborhood's burlesque history. The red velvet cushions and ornate mirrors enhance the experience. Tip: The Tassel Spinner cocktail and lobster macaroni and cheese are some of our favorites.
Chez Henri
A French-Cuban fusion menu in the warm and inviting dining room and delicious Cuban sandwiches in the bar make this intimate spot just outside Harvard Square worth a visit. Tip: The Cuban sandwiches sell out fast and are only available at the bar.
Elephant Walk
This understated, upscale restaurant just outside Kenmore Square features an outstanding menu of French and Cambodian specialties. A variety of menus catering to many dietary restrictions is offered.
Kingfish Hall
The 'dancing fish' is the focal point of the kitchen at this Dali-esque and whimsical Todd English restaurant at Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Tip: Request a scallop-shaped booth upstairs for an entertaining experience.

Weekend treat

This hotel was amazing. The whole place was beautiful. The location is great and so close to everything. I must say my favorite part of my room had to have been that beautiful bathroom. I would most definitely stay here again.

Wonderful hotel in excellent location

Staff was very friendly and we had a very nice room with a view of the city. We were in walking distance to Quincy Market and only a cheap cab ride away from other city attractions. For breakfast there is a Panera Bread, Starbucks and a Dunkin Donuts that is close by if you do not want to spend a lot of money and do not mind a 5 minute walk in the AM. We had a great experience here and would stay there again.

5th Aniversary

The water view was not what we expected. The service was very good. The bed was comfortable. The prices were very high, the food was less than fair. The bar was good and that food was much better than our breakfast although the waiter was very good and better that the over cooked eggs. All in all we enjoyed our stay. The concierge was the best part of our stay at the hotel. They were bery nice and helpful .
