Best for harborfront views, a large guest-accessible fitness/spa center (Wave Health & Fitness), and family stays with kids' programming.

Best for being centrally located near Boston Common, the Freedom Trail, theaters, and large conference/meeting space.
When Seaport Hotel Boston wins: choose Seaport if you want to be on Boston Harbor with water views, easy Harborwalk access, an 11,000 sq ft Wave Health & Fitness club (50-foot heated indoor pool) and kid-friendly programming.
When Hyatt Regency Boston wins: choose the Hyatt if you need a central downtown base within easy walking distance of Boston Common, the Freedom Trail, and the city’s theaters, or if your priority is large conference/banquet facilities in the core of the city.
Bottom line: both are large, full-service 4-star hotels; pick Seaport for waterfront access, fitness and family amenities, and proximity to the Seaport attractions, or pick Hyatt Regency for a downtown location with direct access to the Freedom Trail and Boston’s theater/downtown scene.
