The Boston Marathon brings together athletes, volunteers, spectators, and community members from around the world. In the days leading up to the race and through its final moments, the city carries a distinct sense of focus and momentum.

Throughout Marathon Weekend, Boston Harbor Hotel curated a series of thoughtful offerings designed to support runners and elevate the guest experience.

WELLNESS UNDER THE ARCH

Wellness began with movement. Guests were invitied to take part in a 2.5 mile shakeout run led by Altra Running, followed by a guided yoga session under the arch with Jessica Thalheimer. Throughout the day brand activations, product sampling, and thoughtfully curated giveaways were seamlessly intergrated into the experience.

VOLVO SHUTTLE SERVICE

Complimentary Volvo shuttle service to Boston Marathon Expo at the Hynes Convention Center allowed runners to move through the weekend with ease. 

FUEL UP WITH OUR PASTA SPECIAL

A carbonara pasta special was offered at Rowes Wharf Sea Grille and through In-Room Dining, thoughtfully executed to align with pre-race routines. 

BOSTON MARATHON RUNNER'S CERTIFICATE

Upon return, runners found a framed certificate placed in their room, featuring their official finsih time. A personal acknowledgement waiting at the end of an extraordinary effort.

"Stayed here for the Boston Marathon. The service was some of the best I have experienced. They stocked the room with goodies for the race, provided shuttles to the expo and morning of the race for free. Super helpful with every request. When I got back from the race they had printed out and framed a certificate with my name, finish time, and the date on it... within the 30 mins it took me to get home. Super thoughtful all around! Room was great too!" -Hannah S

"My family recently stayed for two nights for the Boston Marathon. Our stay was exceptional. The staff were incredibly welcoming. They gave our children stuffed animals upon our arrival and we were upgraded to a junior suite. The hotel was decorated for the marathon, which added to the experience. They partnered with Volvo to offer free transportation for runners and their families to the marathon expo and to the buses the morning of the race. They also had bananas, Gatorades, and waters available for runners on race morning. Our room was beautiful and spacious. The health club pool was beautiful and our family enjoyed the amenities. Each employee we interacted with was so friendly and we had all of our needs met with ease. Definitely our favorite place to stay in Boston!" -Jacquelyn S

"Boston Harbor Hotel is like going back in time to when personal services was part of the experience. From the time you arrive the entire team makes you feel like you're their number one priority. I was in Boston to run the marathon and the health club was exactly what I needed for my recovery. And they even framed a certificate with my name and finishing time to celebrate my achievement. It was unexpected and much appreciated. Plus, it's a short walk to the North End for the best Italian food you can find anywhere. Also close to public transportation to get out and see the all the fun parts of Boston. If you're going to Boston stay at the Boston Harbor Hotel. It's perfect!"
