Friend's Wedding in Boston

We attended a wedding here over Memorial Day weekend, and it was such a lovely hotel! It was also right next to their World Trade Center, which is where several of the wedding events were held. The ballroom was overlooking the beautiful Boston skyline and harbor, and the guest rooms were also very comfortable.

There’s also a fitness center available to guests right inside the hotel, which has a 50-foot lap pool, piped-in underwater music, juice bar, and water aerobics classes! It’s also near a golf course, Granite Links Gold Club, and hotel guests can get 20% off green fees! The lobby bar area, Aura Restaurant & Bar, was a great place for our friends and us to lounge in the evening over cocktails and snacks. We also had a delicious buffet brunch there after the wedding on the morning we were leaving. It’s one of the best hotels of the city and has a great view! We highly recommend it!

We were staying across the street at the Seaport Hotel for a wedding and were looking for a casual place for lunch, and they recommended this place. It’s not fancy, and in fact, it looks a lot like a hole-in-the-wall, but some of the food is rather good! For instance, my husband and I had their specialty of seafood chowder, and it was quite tasty. The rest of the food was only so-so. The fish is extremely fresh, but all they do is either fry it or bake it. And most of it is rather greasy too.

The décor is nothing to write home about but the views of the harbor are beautiful. The lunchtime prices are very affordable, and we heard they jack up the prices at night for dinner. Seating is crowded.

Overall, try it if you are in the area, but don't go out of your way.
