Marriott Bonvoy Hotels in Downtown Boston, including the Financial District & Waterfront

Downtown Boston includes some of the oldest, most historical parts of the city along the Freedom Trail, Boston Common and the adjacent Public Garden, the pedestrian-friendly Downtown Crossing shopping mecca, the skyscrapers of the Financial District, and the area along the Boston Harbor waterfront.

Since this area is at the heart of Boston Proper, staying at any of the Marriott hotels here puts you within an easy walk to most other areas in central Boston.

Address:  296 State Street

Located next to Long Wharf, the departure pier for popular whale watching and other cruises, the Boston Marriott Long Wharf occupies an ideal location overlooking Boston Harbor on one side and the Rose Kennedy Greenway on the other.

You can relax in the hotel's gorgeous light-filled swimming pool, sip a drink on the harbor-side terrace, visit the New England Aquarium next door, and walk over to Faneuil Marketplace or perhaps the Green Dragon Tavern on Marshall Street where Paul Revere, Sam Adams, and other Sons of Liberty once plotted a tea party. 

If you're visiting with children, check out the carousel near the hotel on the Greenway and the small children's playground next to the hotel at the edge of Columbus Park.

Almost all of the spacious guest rooms feature water views.

Boston Insider's Tip:  The Boston Marriott Long Wharf is rumored to have the highest occupancy rate among all Boston hotels - so if you want to stay here, do not wait to book!

Not to be missed:  A meal in Scampo, the hotel's onsite restaurant headed by famed Boston Chef Lydia Shire (who may even stop by your table to greet you) - or a drink in the upscale see-and-be-seen Liberty Bar. 

Boston Insider's Tip:  Some of The Liberty's guestrooms, especially those on upper floors, offer spectacular views of July 4th fireworks - but you'll need to request this when booking, preferably far in advance.
