Why stay here
The Colonnade's calling card is singular in Boston: a genuine rooftop pool deck - the 'RTP' - that turns summer stays into resort afternoons eleven floors above Huntington Avenue. Beyond the pool, this independent hotel offers straightforward contemporary rooms, a position opposite the Prudential with the museum corridor running past the door, and service with an unchained personality. For this guide's readers the location earns extra points: Boston Shawarma and the Northeastern Islamic center lie down the same avenue, making it one of the few upscale hotels with walkable halal-and-prayer pairing. Standard caveats: mainstream kitchen, minibar alcohol removable on request, no bidets. Book summer early - the pool books the hotel - and consider it shoulder seasons too, when rates dip while the museum geography keeps working.
