Westin Boston Waterfront

Interested in Boston Harbor hotels?  Consider the Westin

Spectacular sweeping views and sky tunnel access to the Boston Convention and Exposition Center make the Westin Boston Waterfront hotel a big favorite. 

If you're interested in being close to the Convention Center, the Black Falcon Cruise Terminal where the big cruise ships dock, the Bank of America Pavilion, or other South Boston Waterfront attractions, the glamorous new Westin Hotel Boston may be your top choice.

Located in the heart of the South Boston Waterfront neighborhood, the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel offers convenience and comfort in this rapidly developing area, where it seems like more restaurants and shops open each week. 

Although the Westin is located a few blocks from the waterfront, you can easily walk to the water within a few minutes and enjoy the Boston Harbor views. 

What is near the Westin Boston Waterfront Hotel?

The South Boston Waterfront where the Westin Hotel Boston is located is in the midst of a rather exciting transition as new hotels and other facilities pop up among older warehouses repurposed as offices and condos. 

In some parts of this area, which is also called Fort Channel, artists have set up studios and lofts in the warehouses.  You'll see some galleries as well as some interesting boutiques and small bistros.

With only two other hotels in the Seaport District and a few restaurants tucked here and there, you'll find that this area is quieter than other parts of Boston, especially at night.

However, several nearby attractions are definitely worth exploring.

Harpoon Brewery offers tours at their nearby facility on Northern Ave., the spectacular Institute of Contemporary Art mounts exhibits of cutting edge artists, the Boston Design Center showroom displays the latest in home decor in their huge space by the Black Falcon Cruise Port, and the Children's Museum is a perennial favorite with the under 10 set.

To get to other parts of Boston, you can go to a Silver Line T (mass transit) stop a few minutes from the Westin.  But if the weather is nice, walking from South Station is faster (5-8 minutes) is faster and a great way to get some exercise and enjoy the nearby sights.

The hotel also offers complementary shuttle service into the city.
