The walk-through lobby connects Atlantic Avenue to a quiet channel-side green, where locals exercising outdoors mingle with visiting families.
“All of the Italian marble and Texas limestone lining the lobby and hallways are certainly attractive qualities, too.”

This is big-time modern luxury hospitality the way it’s supposed to be done: from the building itself, a monument in blue glass and polished granite…
“Yes, it’s massive—424 guest rooms and suites, to be exact—which lends this recently renovated IHG hotel a resort feel, given the wealth of amenities.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Fort Point’s converted warehouses sit across the channel, while South Station and the Financial District are a short walk away.
The rooms
Classic rooms and corner-view suites pair marble bathrooms with picture windows that bring in ample daylight.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A 45-foot heated indoor lap pool sits beside tall windows, steps from dedicated steam rooms.
The spa
Treatment rooms and wood-slatted relaxation lounges host restorative bodywork and facials across 6,600 square feet.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Matria serves Northern Italian fare along Fort Point Channel, and Bar Fellini pours classic evening aperitivos.
A massive, walk-through lobby stretches from the main thoroughfare of Atlantic Avenue back to a quiet green space on the channel.
