Jump to: Reviews | Westin Boston Waterfront Wins Very Special Groupon Quality Seal

Why would you want to stay in a hotel in the city you live in? Let's face it: it's natural for your daily routine to make our vibrant city seem ordinary, dull, and gray. Sometimes you need to wipe the dust off your glasses and book a night at a fancy downtown hotel to really see Boston in all its colors (Boston features more than half of the colors on the ROYGBIV wheel).

With today's Groupon, $99 gets you a night at the Westin Boston Waterfront, 425 Summer St. in the Seaport District (a $249 value). Enjoy an extended staycation or get a good deal for your out-of-town guests. This deal is available for any of the following dates: August 1–7, 12–18, or August 22–September 8.

This four-star luxury hotel offers breathtaking views of the water and the city, all just a short cab, water taxi, T ride, or wax-winged flight away from Back Bay, the Financial District, and family attractions such as the Boston Children's Museum, the New England Aquarium, and the King's Chapel Burying Ground. See a full list of things to do near the hotel.

Check out all the amenities in each guest room. The Westin also has an indoor pool, hot tub, and gym in the fitness center to help you maintain your physical dominance over weaker beings. The hotel has tons of services, including food—with 24-hour room service, a contemporary restaurant, a bar, and even Starbucks, the hotel has you covered.

This deal is great for Bostonians looking to get out of their dirty apartments for an elegant evening. Or if you've been keeping up with Groupon Boston from Burlington or India, create a complete Groupon vacation by combining today's Westin deal with upcoming restaurant and theater Groupons.

Reviews

Expedia users give the Weston Boston Waterfront an overall satisfaction rating of 4.5; 91% of them recommend the hotel. TripAdivisors give it a 3.5. Here's what they're saying:

• This was a very clean and comfortable hotel. The decor was tastefully done and room was a great size. The lobby was very welcoming and we spent some time there on the computer. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. If we go to Boston, we would certainly stay here! – Nikki D, Expedia
• A sleek, modern and spotlessly clean lobby welcomed us and we were sent to an equally well-appointed (and yes, clean!) room, even though we checked in way early. We sleep on a tempur-pedic mattress at home and are leery of the comforts of even first-rate hotels. The Weston Waterfront mattress was astounding! We slept perfectly. – Traveler from Raleigh, NV, Expedia
• Stayed for a business trip at the adjacent Convention Center - perfect location for that which made it very easy to go back and forth all day long. Nice decor - seems like a pretty new hotel, very clean. Room was decorated in "minimalistic" tones – danielleflorida, TripAdvisor

Westin Boston Waterfront Wins Very Special Groupon Quality Seal

The classy Westin Boston Waterfront is known for its gorgeous building, amazing service, and proximity to all the best Boston attractions, so you'd think a 60% discount would be reason enough for us to feature the deal. It's not.

Here at Groupon, the safety and peace of mind of our customers comes first. That means putting each product or service we offer through a rigorous quality-assurance process. For today's deal, the Westin Boston Waterfront was kind enough to lend us the building's blueprints because, like any average consumer, we were concerned about the stability of its load-bearing pillars. After testing each pillar for earthquake resistance, ability to withstand battering rams, and general burliness, the Westin receives the coveted Groupon Quality Seal. Spend a weekend at an upscale hotel whose structural integrity was described as "awesome" by our Special Director of Quality Assurance Person Specializing in Quality Assuring.
