Staying in the newest hotels in Boston lets you be among the first to experience the newest trends in amenities and perks - rooftop decks, indoor swimming pools, creatively themed onsite bars and restaurants, and hot locations.
You may also get low rates and opening discounts if you're among the new hotel's first guests - so look for hotel offers.
You'll find a huge range of appealing choices.
Boston and next-door neighbor Cambridge are in the middle of a huge hotel building boom, with eight more major new properties scheduled to open during the next year or two - and that's not counting smaller hotels, expansions, and top-to-bottom renovations.
Several of the newly opened hotels such as Boston's second Four Seasons sit squarely in the "luxury" category.
However, a competing trend for affordable "micro" hotels such as the Theatre District's Moxy and the new CitizenM by TD Garden offers you welcoming communal spaces like rooftop terraces and lobbies designed for fun and relaxation to make up for minimalist guest rooms.
You can choose from major brands like Marriott and Hilton, hip but lesser-known international brands like CitizenM, and even independent boutiques like the Whitney Hotel and Studio Allston.
We list these new hotels in Boston in the general order of when they opened, starting with the most recent opening.
