When Seaport Hotel Boston wins: choose Seaport Hotel Boston if harbor views, on-site Wave Health & Fitness with a 50-foot indoor heated pool, and family programming (Seaport Sailors/First Mate's Club) matter to your trip. Its larger room count and extensive event/ballroom options also make it a better pick for big meetings and weddings.
