Boston Marriott Long Wharf Hotel

Enjoy Boston Harbor Waterfront Views and Activities

Many visitors regard the Boston Marriott Long Wharf as tops among Boston waterfront hotels.  And for good reason!

Although the Boston Marriott Long Wharf is not technically one of the Boston Airport hotels, the 8-minute water taxi ride to the hotel from Logan International makes it an attraction option if you want to be in Downtown Boston for business, explore nearby attractions such as the Freedom Trail, and enjoy a Bruins or Celtics game at TD Garden.

Perched on historic Long Wharf, the Boston Marriott Long Wharf enjoys one of Boston's best locations.

What does the Boston Marriott Long Wharf Hotel offer?

The hotel is big - 397 rooms and 15 suites.  Each room has a spectacular view of Boston Harbor or the picturesque North End.  

Rooms feature large flat screen TVs and the comfortable furnishings for which Marriott is famous - the super-comfy beds, down comforters, and all the plush pillows you could possibly want.  

You can enjoy the hotel's indoor pool and well-equipped fitness room.  For spa services, you'll get access to Rowes Wharf Health Club and Spa at the nearby Boston Harbor Hotel.

Kids especially love the Marriott's video game room.  If you're visiting with young children, you'll also find an exceptionally nice playground (one of my own kids' favorites when they were younger) on the north side of the hotel in the adjacent Christopher Columbus Park - one reason why this is considered one of the best kid-friendly Boston hotels. 

Dining options at the Boston Marriott

The hotel's restaurant, Oceana, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, specializing in seafood. 

You'll also find a popular Starbucks in the lobby.

However . . . you're also surrounded by other excellent restaurants.  Across Atlantic Avenue is Legal Seafoods, one of the best Boston seafood restaurants. 

Next to the hotel is Chart House.  And across State Street is Sel de la Terre, a Boston favorite for its Provencal-inspired French cuisine.

Only a few blocks away, you'll find so many wonderful restaurants in the North End and Faneuil Marketplace that you'll lose count.  Which brings us back to the hotel's top-notch location . . .
