Harborside Inn

Stylish Stay by the Boston Waterfront

Modern comfort meets historic charm at the Harborside Inn, a sleek and stylish hotel in Boston’s vibrant waterfront district. Just steps from the harbor and surrounded by iconic landmarks, this hotel offers a relaxed, urban vibe with upgraded amenities like free high-speed Wi-Fi, a movie library, and modern rooms featuring a 55-inch HDTV with HBO and a DVD player. With the Aquarium Subway Station and Freedom Trail just around the corner, you’re right in the heart of Boston’s cultural and entertainment scene.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can't beat the location—just a short walk or subway ride from many of Boston's major music venues. The hotel is far enough from the main streets to offer a quiet night’s rest, yet close enough to the action for a short stroll home after the encore. With flexible check-in at 3:00 PM and a generous noon check-out, you can sleep in after a late night. The nearby Aquarium Station makes it easy to hop on the T and get anywhere quickly—even after midnight.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking for a stylish base near the nightlife
• Solo travelers catching a dream gig
• Couples planning a romantic concert weekend
• Fans wanting peace and quiet after the show
• Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort and location

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel lounge is currently not serving, you’re in a neighborhood packed with late-night bites. Dozens of restaurants and bars are within walking distance, offering everything from seafood to street eats. No on-site breakfast, but with so many cafés nearby, grabbing brunch after a late night is no problem. Although there's no room service, the central location more than makes up for it.

Nightlife Options

From cozy pubs to lively bars, the surrounding area is rich with nightlife options. Whether you're looking for a pre-show drink or a post-concert nightcap, downtown Boston delivers. While the hotel itself doesn’t currently offer live music or bar service, its proximity to Faneuil Hall and the Seaport gives you easy access to some of the city’s best music bars and lounges.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern rooms, high-speed internet, and unbeatable location. Many highlight how close the hotel is to major attractions and public transit. The lobby’s relaxing vibe and the in-room entertainment options are also frequently praised, especially by those unwinding after a busy night out.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the lounge is currently closed, and there’s no in-house dining or bar. If you’re expecting a full-service hotel experience, this might be a miss—but the neighborhood more than fills that gap. A few reviewers also noted that the rooms facing the street can get a bit of city noise, so light sleepers might want to request an interior room.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to Boston for a concert, Harborside Inn offers modern comfort, a prime location, and easy access to venues—all at a solid value.
