Bottom Line

The 80-room Boxer Boston is a hip, upper-middle-range hotel in the city's Flatiron building, a five-minute walk from the TD Garden. Posh, industrial rooms are on the small side but well-equipped with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and K-cup coffeemakers plus contemporary, sleek bathrooms. The ground floor is home to a stylish restaurant and bar that serves a breakfast buffet (for a fee), light dinner fare, and drinks. There are also many other dining options nearby, including in Faneuil Hall, a 10-minute stroll away. There’s a small fitness center on-site, but no pool. Guests looking for more on-site amenities should compare rates with Revere Hotel Boston Common, which has a rooftop bar and an indoor pool.

Oyster Hotel Review

The Boxer Boston

Scene

Chic, vintage-inspired boutique hotel in a historic building

The Boxer opened in 2013 in the city’s historic Flatiron Building, a beautiful triangular brick structure built in 1904. Inside, the lobby has a classic feel with wood floors and a wooden front desk under rustic, round chandeliers, while the well-curated seating area includes eclectic furnishings such as low, metal coffee tables and a velvety blue couch with striped cushions. The classic-eclectic vibe continues in the hotel’s bar and restaurant, the Finch, with a handsome wooden bar and more velvety couches. Guests can order bar food such as wings or hamburgers and finish it off with classic drinks including a Whiskey Sour or a Sazerac. This property attracts leisure travelers for its style and sports fans for its convenient location near TD Garden.

Location

Between the North End and Beacon Hill

This hotel is located in the Flatiron Building just a five-minute walk from TD Garden. There are plenty of restaurants within a short walk, including the Italian restaurants in the North End and the food stalls in Quincy Market, which can both be reached in a 10-minute walk. The Government Center is also less than a 10-minute walk away, as is the Freedom Trail. The airport can be reached in less than a 10-minute drive (depending on traffic), or a half-hour commute on public transportation.
