Venues & Event Spaces in Boston, MA

“We had Rachel as our gamemaster. She was very good and helpful. She askwd how we wanted our hints and gave helpful clues. The puzzles and room were well desgin and challenging. We did the Witching hour. They also have printed copies of of group photo which is great.
Note: To find the store, you go into a building and walk up to the 2nd floor. It shard a building with other vendors.”

“I attended the Materials Research Society (MRS) international conference, which focuses on materials science. This annual conference is held at this venue. The facility includes a spacious area for large corporate exhibition booths. All floors are accessible via escalators, and there are numerous conference rooms available for presentations. December 2024.”

“Very nice boutique hotel. I would definitely stay there again.

Nearby activities: I was in town for the Celtics home opener. TD Garden is across the street from the hotel.

Walkability: See above. There are plenty of restaurants and access to the subway nearby.”

“Reviewing the spa. Every detail matters, from the moment you enter the spa, the slippers you slide into, the herbal tea you drink before stepping into the steam room, to the attentive masseuse who ensures you get a unique massage experience. Worth every dollar you spend.”

“Great location for a visit to boston, midway between Back Bay and the North End, close to the Common. Convenient to the Freedom Trail and Beacon Hill. Luxury linens and friendly service. Exceptionally clean. We would definitely stay here again. Didn't use the gym,but we appreciated the bottled water and snacks in our room. Also, having a fridge in the room is a game changer.
I used the robe and slippers provided. I only wish there were more hooks for hanging the robe and towels! Only one towel bar didn't seem like enough. Also the partial shower door resulted in water on the floor every time we showered. We loved the motion-activated low blue lights that came on in the bathroom in the middle of the night. What a great idea!

We had a premium king with windows overlooking the street in front of the hotel. Always nice to have natural light.

The bar was always crowded, perhaps because they seem to give everyone free drink tickets when they arrive (wine and beer only). The coffee shop adjacent to the lobby is excellent but always had a line.

My other complaint is a lack of streaming apps. Only spotify and you tube were available. Would have been nice to have Amazon prime and Netflix so we could have had viewing options from our phones.

Overall, a great hotel.”

“The Boston Tea Party & Museum is an absolute gem! The all-you-can-drink tea, featuring all the varieties from the famous tea bricks tossed overboard, was a delightful experience. The museum is packed with loads of fascinating history and is situated in a great location. The gift shop is abundant with unique and interesting items. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Boston!”

“its a perfect base, especially if you are taking Amtrak / Acela. Its literally minutes walk and is in a safe neighborhood in downtown Boston. You could walk along the wharf pathway to north end or check out the markets or walk to Boston commons (all within 20 minutes). They recognize your ihg status so all is well. I watched a game at TD garden so took an Uber back - no drama. Rooms are pretty huge and they carry byredo which is nice”

“I am so grateful to have found Musicians Playground (MP)! After 25 years of doing little more than singing very loudly in the privacy of my own car, when for many years prior to that music was the majority of my identity, I rediscovered a part of myself that had been dormant, and it has brought me so much joy!

I think it’s easy as an adult to fall into routines that are mostly just productive and it can be scary to do something with the intention of just adding more joy to your life. Also, it’s really hard to meet new people as a working adult.

When I first called to find out more information about MP, a lot of things in my life had just shifted and I really needed to do something for myself. I wanted to be passionate about something other than my job (I’m a former speech pathologist and current special education team chair)! I was looking to get back into music, but I was also looking for connection. Seek and ye shall find!!

If I’m being honest, I was very nervous about the whole thing at first. It felt like a huge risk! Alyssa, the owner, assured me that MP was a community of adults enjoying music together. She sounded awfully serious though, even though I now know she’s just a highly trained musically talented goofball, and I worried. Would I be good enough? Would I fit in? Would it be worth it? Yes! Yes! And yes!

What lovely people, from every walk of life! What amazingly talented, engaging teachers! How remarkable to find a place where you can be true to yourself and have that authenticity mirrored by everyone around! What a wonderful sense of belonging! MP has increased my quality of life by leaps and bounds! Not only am I having so much fun in my private (voice with Tima, she’s unreal!) and group lessons (voice hits and piano fundamentals and band with Tima, Alyssa and Anika, literal rock stars!), I’ve had the unexpected pleasure of really loving learning new technique/skills (voice and piano) to the point that I am scheduling others that I’m gonna be starting soon (guitar).

Hey, if this chick, can sing with a band in front of an audience and have a blast doing it, then you can give MP a try! I truly cannot recommend Musicians Playground more highly!”

“Great sound quality, even in the back where I was sitting. However, the doors to the venue are extremely loud and the ushers weren't stopping people from entering mid-song so it was a bit distracting with them opening and closing constantly.”

“Great venue! Restaurant is attached, the blackend salmon was good. next.

The acoustics vary, up close is better, and there are side bars so on the side is convenient.

Good views from almost everywhere in the hall.”

“Everything at The Liberty was exceptional. Very friendly and efficient concierge, everything was very clean, the rooms and bedding are elegant and thoughtful, and the food was absolutely stellar. I ate at Clink and can't remember the last time I had such good food. I very much look forward to the next time I get to stay here.”

“The location - amazing. Loved the common area with plentiful water, snacks, fridge. Our room with ensuite was clean and well kept. The staff was friendly. Also loved how we were able to store our luggage the day we checked out. Breakfast was yummy (thank you for accommodating my diet requests!) The value of our money felt well spent here. 10/10 would recommend to others and come back again!”

“Many community events are here. My favorite is "Vòng Tay Cha Mẹ Việt," which celebrates New Year 2024 for Vietnamese parents with disabled children. It showcases many talented kids and is fun and the best."”

“Wonderful wonderful. Rema is a gift herself as is the rest of the employees. They need to be commended for their outstanding and above and beyond enthusiasm and performances.”

“Visited Boston City Hall Plaza on the 4th of July, and it was such a great experience! The whole place is clean, open, and beautifully maintained — perfect for a walk. With the Independence Day parade and celebrations happening, the energy around the plaza was amazing.”

“This location is part of the Freedom Tour and your ticket here is also good for entrance to the Old State House, too.

There was an audio tour available if you scan the QR code.”

“First time staying at an Aloft hotel. The lobby was nice and the check-in process was quick and easy. The staff was very friendly and responsive. The "market" items for purchase could use a few more hearty late night options.

This hotel is right across the street from the convention center which was convenient as I was here for a conference. It's a relatively easy walk to get other stuff in the area.

My only real complaint is the noise. The room I was in had paper thin walls, I could hear every conversation happening in the hallway, in adjoining rooms and every time someone above me dropped something, etc...Also, although I couldn't hear the elevator going up and down, I could hear the dinging of the elevator throughout the night. Finally, the planes taking off and landing at all hours at BOS was pretty loud. In general, I didn't get great sleep. Also, please put up some clothes/coat hooks. The only hook was a single hook in the bathroom. On the plus side, the beds were comfortable.”

“I recently stayed at this hotel, and the service truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment we checked in, the staff went out of their way to ensure our stay was comfortable and seamless.

It started with Ms. Tall at the front desk, who got our room ready early, which was such a relief. Later, I requested a refrigerator for our room, and Ms. Marilyn Davis from engineering kindly brought it up. She went above and beyond, thoughtfully looking for the best place to put it. About 15 minutes later, she came back to offer a solution to our space issue, noting that the room was a bit tight for my partner’s oxygen equipment and mobility scooter. She mentioned a larger room was available and that she’d check on the rate — which she believed would remain the same. She showed us the new room, and it was perfect, much more spacious and exactly what we needed. Marilyn took care of everything, from getting new keys to arranging a bellboy to help with our bags, even redirecting the laundry I sent out to the new room.

Lisa, the waitress at the lounge, was also wonderful and attentive throughout our stay, making sure we were well taken care of. And while I can’t remember all their names, every other staff member we encountered was friendly and professional.

A special mention for the recovery of my toiletry bag — including jewelry — that I left in our old room. I was worried it was gone since the staff didn't want to disturb the new guests. But to my surprise, the bag was returned to me the next evening with everything intact.

After an underwhelming experience at another Marriott location just the night before, this hotel completely turned things around for us. The level of care and attention to detail has made our stay memorable. The hotel may not be the cheapest, but the quality of service is genuinely top-of-the-line. Thank you to Ms. Tall, Marilyn Davis, Lisa, and all the other amazing staff who made our stay so wonderful.”

“I was a tenant at Boston Offices from 2018 through 2024 any my experience was exceptional. Each staff member with whom I interacted was helpful and professional. The facilities were clean and well-maintained - I never had even the slightest hesitation about hosting meetings there. Pricing was competitive, especially considering the services included. I highly recommend Boston Offices and would most certainly rent office space here again.”

“This location offers a beautiful view of the city, the rooms are clean and spacious, and the staff has been wonderful. The breakfast is delicious with made to order omelets, fruit, waffles, bacon, sausage and other items. And it is close enough that a short walk through the park and you can catch a train or bus to wherever you need to go. Definitely look forward to staying here again. The only negative experience we had was having a rep try to sell us on additional stays every single day.”

“The Lawn on D in Boston is the perfect spot for outdoor fun! With a vibrant atmosphere, it offers drinks and plenty of games to enjoy. Whether you’re lounging on the grass or playing games, it’s a fantastic place to unwind with friends, kids and family.

Dog-friendliness: Dog and family friendly”

“We did the Odyssey for my moms 50th. The food was really good for the most part. Everyone enjoyed their food, I had to send my steak back for being over and then again for being way under. I really think they were just trying to get me my food ASAP. The service was super nice, the manager was great and did everything she could to make up for the mistake. I completely understand sometimes you make a mistake on temps for a food so I didn’t make a big deal. Overall they did their very best to make up for it and we hand a really good time. I would recommend for a night out, definitely a bit pricey but it’s a fun night and they work hard to make sure you have a good time.”

“Very educational and fascinating Auschwitz display. Somber but informative. Found out about Kanada, which for me was a very new piece of information.
Clean location, pay attention to directions on how to get there.”

“Very convenient location right in downtown Boston. It’s a historic hotel, so expect smaller rooms and older facilities.
Charging $75 for early check-in is the highest I’ve encountered, and esp as rooms would only be available after 12pm (even with early check-in). I didn’t pay the fee.
Some staff (esp the old vanguard) are really lovely - they made the stay worthwhile!
Gym is pretty extensive and don’t miss the historical details in the basement!”

“Nice space. Parking is a challenge for weekdays, but can ease up on weekends. Has a full kitchen, though currently unavailable due to renovations. My event is not until November 2023, so cannot give an opinion based on actual use of the space.”

“We recently celebrated our daughter’s wedding ceremony and reception at the Boston College Club. To say that every aspect of the entire event was spectacular would be an understatement! The view of the beautiful city was just magnificent, the food was some of the best we’ve ever had (the filet was incredible)and the staff were very polite and professional. The big day went as smoothly as we could have ever hoped for thanks to the impeccable work of Anna Grace who met with our daughter and son-in-law months before the wedding working on all the specific details and didn’t miss a beat on making their vision a reality. Thanks to Anna Grace and Ronnie, who saw to every tiny detail our daughter told us many times throughout their special day that her wedding was everything and more she had ever dreamed of and wouldn’t change a thing!!! I think that says it all!!!”

“The staff at the entrance of the hotel were very helpful with recommending different events around town, and they’re really nice even after you’ve checked out. I had to go to the bathroom, which is locked by key, but I had already checked out an hour before. They were so kind to help me out. The location of the hotel is great if you like theater and plays because they’re all within close proximity.

The rooms are small just like most other hotels in the downtown Boston area, but the room was clean, and the bathroom was updated.

My only concern was the bed. The bed cover had stains on it, and all sheets/ cover were placed on the floor for when the room was supposed to be cleaned. However, instead of the bed cover being changed out, they took the same bed cover and placed it between two bed sheets (a makeshift duvet). To add to this, a new bed sheet was added that had stains. The small room I can handle, but a bed with stains doesn’t work and it’s clear they knew there was an issue. I’m unsure where the mentality comes in that anyone would want to sleep in a bed with stains in the sheets or cover.

Nearby activities: Theaters for plays/dance

Walkability: In a good location downtown and there are restaurants nearby.”

“A cute and intimate little venue. We lined up about an hour before our show but we were able to wait inside which was very appreciated for a cold winter night. The venue is in a great location.”

“Dorchester Art Project has been serving the community for years. This is the best place for local artists! Rent their theater out for cool underground music shows or check out their awesome studio spaces Make sure to go to a gallery show or see a local band play and support local artists!”

“went this past weekend to see Nüwa in Fairyland!! such a good show and cast, it was Queer AAPI night so i got to see lots of other queer AAPI in the audience ?? loved the atmosphere and their blackbox theater!”
