What You Need to Know

The Look of the Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport

It's All in the Details

Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport occupies a sleek glass building that fits right in with the city’s skyline. Upon stepping inside, you’ll enter the expansive lobby, decked out in gallery-worthy artwork, much of which is specially commissioned. Highlights include a video installation from Daniel Canogar, sculptures from David Allen Peters, abstract paintings from Donald Martiny, and a slew of black and white photography from Melissa Blackall, Harry Scales, and Nile Scott. As you wait to check into your room, soak it all in from the comfort of one of several couches or plush chairs, or grab a drink at the adjacent lobby bar. 

The resort-style hotel is divided into two sections: the Patron Tower and the Artist Tower. The former pays homage to Boston’s rich performing arts scene, offering spacious accommodations with clean lines and a mainly neutral color palette with pops of blues, greens, and chestnut brown. Large windows let in abundant natural light. The Artist Tower, on the other hand, is inspired by artist lofts and has a studio-style layout, modern art, and an open-closet concept, making it well-suited for solo travelers.
