Boston is a compact New England city known for historic architecture, museums, and American Revolution sites, alongside modern attractions like new eateries, sports teams, and major green spaces. Boston Common, the Charles River Esplanade, the Rose Park Greenway, and Castle Island offer walking trails and swimming beaches. High-end hotels reflect this mix by shifting from purely traditional styles toward swankier interiors and contemporary comfort. The Atlas Hotel in Allston sits at the entrance of Harvard’s Enterprise Research Campus and is designed as part of an innovation district. The sustainable building earned LEED Gold certification, and the hotel offers 246 rooms, including the Atlas Suite with a soaking tub and unobstructed Charles River and skyline views. Public areas feature local contemporary artwork, and the hotel includes Ama for global comfort cuisine and Foxglove Terrace, a 7,000-square-foot rooftop bar.
"Boston combines cosmopolitan culture with storied patina. Visitors will find historical architecture, binge-worthy museums, and sites that pay tribute to the American Revolution. Juxtapose those stalwarts with buzzy new eateries, beloved sports teams, and green spaces, including Boston Common (the oldest city park in the United States), the Charles River Esplanade, the Rose Park Greenway, and Castle Island with walking trails and swimming beaches, and it's apparent that this not-so-big city punches above its weight."
"Situated at the entrance of Harvard's Enterprise Research Campus in Boston's Allston neighborhood, The Atlas Hotel helps define what was long a desolate area as a true innovation district. Marlon Blackwell Architects designed the sustainable building-it achieved LEED Gold certification-and INC Architecture & Design is responsible for the 246 guest rooms. Enthusiastic bathers should book the Atlas Suite for its soaking tub with unobstructed views of the Charles River and Boston skyline."
"As for the public spaces, colorful contemporary artwork by locals Damien Hoar de Galvan, Cicely Carew, Crystalle Lacouture, and others, are interspersed between warm, clean-lined wood paneling. Ama at The Atlas from the James Beard Award-nominated team behind Comfort Kitchen in Dorchester serves global comfort cuisine, and Foxglove Terrace, a 7,000-square-foot rooftop bar, is the place to be in nice weather. From $325 per night."
