Envoy Hotel

Envoy Hotel is a boutique property at 70 Sleeper Street in the Seaport district, set on the Fort Point Channel in a former industrial area that has become one of Boston's most active neighborhoods. South Station is about a ten-minute walk, the Silver Line and Courthouse stop serve the area, and the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, the Institute of Contemporary Art and the Boston Children's Museum are all close. Boston Logan International Airport is a short drive through the Ted Williams Tunnel. The hotel's design mixes loft-style architecture with contemporary interiors, and its signature feature is a rooftop bar with views of the downtown skyline and the harbor, which draws locals as well as guests. Rooms and suites are modern and compact, with large windows in many units and a stylish urban feel; rates typically run from about $250 to $480 per night. Dining and drinks center on the rooftop venue and an on-site restaurant, and the Seaport's wide choice of restaurants and bars lies within a few blocks. A fitness center and a business center are available, and concierge assistance helps with local recommendations. Wi-Fi is provided. The vibe is design-conscious and social rather than traditional, so the property suits younger travelers, couples and business visitors attending events at the convention center. The Fort Point Channel waterfront walk and the Harborwalk are directly nearby, offering views of the water and public art. Visitors to Boston, Massachusetts seeking a contemporary base outside the historic core, with quick access to the harbor and to downtown by foot or transit, will find the hotel a convenient and atmospheric choice.
