As Christmas approaches, so does the pressure to find the perfect gift for everyone on your list. A new sweater or pair of shoes are always good options, but why not give a gift that’s extra special and memorable this year? Adventurers and visionaries will love to receive a refreshing and inspiring stay, all in the heart of Boston’s Seaport District. Here are five reasons to give the gift of The Envoy Hotel, Autograph Collection in Boston this Christmas season.

Stunning Seaport Views

Do not expect a cookie-cutter-style room when you stay at The Envoy. Each of our 136 guest rooms and suites is designed for a purpose—to offer you an unparalleled guest experience. For us, part of that is providing the best Seaport views in Boston. The rooms are bathed in natural light thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows, giving you unobstructed scenes of Boston Harbor and the downtown skyline.

To wake up to views of the glimmering water below, be sure to choose one of our water-view corner rooms and suites, which are tailored for comfort and relaxation. When you take in the water from the comfort of your own space, you can connect with nature while still enjoying the benefits of an urban environment.

Delicious On-Site Dining

At The Envoy, we believe that a stay with us is not just about accommodations; it’s a culinary journey through the heart of Boston. Para Maria, our Latin-inspired restaurant, embodies the warmth of family, friends, and food. Indulge in the rich flavors of our menu, featuring the exquisite black sea bass ceviche, delicately crafted with macadamia leche de tigre, fresh herbs, and mariquitas. Or, opt for the bold flavors of our Korean beef tacos, made with kimchi, green onions, and togarashi. For a taste of tradition with a modern twist, indulge in our Cuban sandwich sliders, perfect for sharing with family and friends.

To see even more iconic views of Boston, don’t miss our sleek rooftop bar, Lookout Rooftop, where you can catch panoramic views of the city skyline. Take your pick from our menu of microbrews and cocktails as you watch the sunset over Boston or enjoy a leisurely nightcap.

Conveniently Located Near Boston’s Best Landmarks

Nestled in the heart of the Innovation District, we not only boast prime views of Boston Harbor and the city skyline, but we also offer unparalleled proximity to some of the city’s most iconic landmarks. From our doorstep, guests can effortlessly explore the historic Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, a quick, seven-minute walk away. This museum immerses visitors in the pivotal moment when revolutionaries protested against British taxation.

Additionally, our central location allows for easy access to the renowned Old North Church, just a seven-minute drive from The Envoy. Built in 1723, this church played a crucial role in igniting the American Revolution, making it a must-visit historical site. After exploring these landmarks, explore Boston’s North End, known as “Little Italy,” offering plenty of pasta, pastries, and centuries-old charm.
