InterContinental Boston, an IHG Hotel (Boston, USA)

If you want the all-inclusive downtown Boston experience, the Hotel InterContinental is the perfect spot to start. From downtown, you're located on the water and can walk to historic sites like Boston Common and Faneuil Hall within minutes.

Whether you've come to Boston for the city or the coast (or both), the hotel provides you with some gorgeous scenery. From your room, you can relax peacefully and enjoy the sunrise across the city or sunset on the water, depending on your preference.

Even if you never leave the hotel, you'd have a hard time getting bored with the dining options. You can choose from Latin-fusion appetizers, a vodka-themed seafood restaurant, a sit-down sashimi experience, or an old-world brasserie with a contemporary twist.

While the Hotel InterContinental provides an on-site parking lot and valet parking, a number of guests have noted that the rates for parking are very expensive. On the other hand, you're unlikely to find cheap parking at any downtown venue.

Overall, guests were impressed with the service and surroundings of the hotel. Still, some visitors had a few issues with stiff beds, harbor views actually being roof views, pricey meals, and racket from the city interrupting their sleep.

The hotel does provide free basic Wi-Fi service in the lobby, but if you require service in your room, the high speed equivalent will cost you extra. Guests of the hotel felt that, for the hotel's steep rates, room-based wireless Internet should be complimentary.
