A sense of the place
Why it's in the collection
Because it is the waterfront's five-star – independent, on Rowes Wharf since 1987, with its own marina and a water-taxi dock at the foot of the archway.
- Anchors the Rowes Wharf complex designed by Adrian Smith at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in 1987, with its landmark 80-foot harborside archway, a private marina and a water-taxi dock; the hotel is independent.
- 232 rooms including 22 one-bedroom suites, renovated by Wimberly Interiors, and the 4,800-square-foot John Adams Presidential Suite with 20-foot windows, a 1,000-square-foot terrace and a chandelier of 1,200 crystals.
- Rowes Wharf Sea Grille, ocean to table, and The Dark Bar with the city's largest scotch collection; Dandelion café opened in 2025 and the Trillium Garden beer garden, with Trillium Brewing, in June 2026.
- The Rowes Wharf Health Club & Spa with a 60-foot indoor lap pool, and the Summer in the City waterfront series, now in its 27th year.
