YOTEL Boston

Boston, USA

Virgin rating

The hotel

Fun and futuristic, Yotel has found its spiritual home in Boston’s Seaport neighbourhood – its tech-driven ‘Innovation District’ is the perfect setting for this tech-savvy hotel, with Boston’s famous sights just moments away thanks to the subway stop in its basement. Inspired by the digital age and styled with a tongue-in-cheek nod to first class travel, guest rooms are called ‘cabins’, you get free superfast WiFi throughout, and you even check in at airport-style self-service desks (although Yotel’s ‘Mission Control crew’ are always ready to help). Even the social spaces are first class themed – from the lobby’s Club Lounge with its casual dining and complimentary tea and coffee, to the rooftop’s Sky Lounge, with its views over Boston’s skyline and harbour, refreshing ‘Cabin Cooler’ cocktails, innovative light bites, and playlists designed by its ‘Sound Architect’.

Rooftop Deck 12 is an outstanding spot for drinks and views! The panoramic cityscape is absolutely stunning, especially as the sun sets and the city lights come alive. The atmosphere is trendy yet welcoming, making it perfect for a night out with friends or a casual date. Our server, Sebastian, made the experience even better. He was attentive, knowledgeable about the drink menu, and had excellent recommendations. The cocktails were top-notch—beautifully crafted and full of flavor, with a nice variety to suit all tastes. Overall, Rooftop Deck 12 is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy great drinks with a view. A little pricey, but the quality and experience make it worthwhile! Read less

Wound up here after my boss booked rooms for our work retreat. Rooms were laughable - way too small. The pink/purple color the room is set to when you arrive is also pretty funny. My colleagues and I did all we could to avoid being in the rooms at all. Will not be back. This should be an emergency option only.
