Dining options include ArtBar featuring New England cuisine and Studio Café & Bakery serving house-made pastries and gourmet meals. The property maintains an indoor pool with a salt-based water system and a 24-hour fitness center.

Pros

Original artwork by respected contemporary artists throughout the property
Private 3800-square-foot outdoor terrace with river views
Seasonal sundeck for guest relaxation
Cons
4:00 PM check-in time is later than some hotels
Self-parking fee of $42 per night
“The Royal Sonesta Boston is a somewhat mixed experience. I appreciate its location near Boston and Cambridge attractions, plus it has covered parking. However, some rooms need updating, which impacts the overall impression, and that indoor pool needs a serious cleaning.”
