Overview

Connected to the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center

Not convenient for sightseers

Like most Westins, The Westin Boston Waterfront works hard to make your stay as comfortable as possible with a large indoor pool, a fitness center and delectable bites served at on-site dining venues, Sauciety and M.J. O'Connors Irish Pub. However, while many previous business travelers said The Westin Boston Waterfront suited their needs, the hotel's location (connected to the convention center, south of the city center) isn't the most convenient for sightseers. Recent travelers say if you're looking to explore Boston, you should stay somewhere else. As far as accommodations go, you can expect clean, comfortable rooms filled with signature Westin amenities, including plush Heavenly Beds, Wi-Fi access (for a fee) and sleek flat-screen TVs. If you're a Marriott Bonvoy member, rest assured that you can receive extra perks, such as free room upgrades, by choosing to stay here.
