Great place, near Hynes Convention center
From the outside a grey concrete building. Inside an elegant hotel. Boutique style, large rooms, minibar, nice TV/entertainment set. If you become a member of the hotel chain, free wireless broadband internet in the room; very reliable and high speed. The hotel lies accross the street from the Prudential shopping center, that is connected to Hynes convention centre. There is an underpass 25 meters from the hotel entrance. From the hotel to the convention center it is a less than 10 min walk, fully covered. The hotel is not so huge as the Sheraton, Marriot or Hilton, which are located in the same area. Service is much more personal than in these mega hotels. There is a nice French style restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Windows can be opened, so it is possible to avoid AC if you do not like that. Small, but acceptable fitness room, mainly focussed on cardio excercise. weight machines are older and not that sophisticated. Not used the rooftop pool due to the weather. Only comments I had were the room lighting, which is not perfect (not centrally switchable and no main light) and the in-room vault, which is too small for a laptop.
