Location: Theater District vs Waterfront

Moxy Boston Downtown – Location

Moxy Boston Downtown sits at 240 Tremont Street in the Theater District, a short walk from Boston Common, Chinatown and multiple theaters.

  • About a 7-minute walk to the Freedom Trail and Boston Common.
  • Steps from the Wilbur Theatre, Boch Center and other performance venues.
  • Close to Downtown Crossing shopping and an MBTA subway stop (Boylston area).

Moxy is best if you want to be in the city’s theater and nightlife core and enjoy walking to downtown sights.

InterContinental Boston – Location

InterContinental Boston sits on the harbor near the Seaport and Financial District, within easy walking distance of waterfront attractions.

  • Immediate proximity to Boston Harbor and Seaport Boulevard (harbor walk access noted).
  • Short walk to New England Aquarium and Faneuil Hall Marketplace.
  • Good choice for arrivals/departures: Logan International Airport is the preferred nearby airport.

InterContinental is the better pick for waterfront access, harbor walks, and Seaport/financial-district proximity.

Rooms: compact vs expansive

Moxy Boston Downtown – Rooms

Moxy’s rooms are compact, design-focused and aimed at travelers who value social spaces over large rooms.

  • Room types include Room (Backstage), Room, City View (Center Stage), Room (Panoramic View), Room, River View and specialty windowed rooms.
  • Rooms are optimized for short city stays; in-room Wi‑Fi is available to all guests.
  • Complimentary fitness center and compact public spaces offset smaller guestrooms.

Expect efficient, compact rooms — a downtown city-room experience rather than large luxury suites.

InterContinental Boston – Rooms

InterContinental offers a wide range of room types and suites, including water- and Greenway-facing rooms and one-bedroom suites.

  • Room types listed include Classic Room variants, multiple Greenway and Water View options, Junior Suite and Suite, 1 Bedroom.
  • Bathrooms with separate bathtubs and rainfall showerheads are highlighted for many rooms.
  • Room features commonly include minibars, flat-screen TVs, desks and laptop-compatible safes.

InterContinental provides larger, more varied room options and suite choices suitable for longer or more formal stays.

Dining & drinks: Bar Moxy vs hotel restaurants

Moxy Boston Downtown – Dining & drinks

Moxy’s food-and-drink program centers on Bar Moxy and a 24/7 Grab ’n’ Go Market.

  • Bar Moxy serves American fare, cocktails, beer and wine, and is open to the public (hours vary by day).
  • Breakfast is available at Bar Moxy for a fee.
  • 24/7 Grab ’n’ Go Market offers snacks and pre-packed meals around the clock.

Moxy focuses on a single lively bar/restaurant experience and convenient grab-and-go options.

InterContinental Boston – Dining & drinks

InterContinental has multiple dining outlets, including Matria and a bar/lounge, with in-room dining available during limited hours.

  • Matria offers American cuisine; the property lists two restaurants and a bar/lounge.
  • Full breakfasts are served for a fee (weekday and weekend hours specified by the hotel).
  • Room service is available (during limited hours).

InterContinental gives more restaurant variety and formal dining options, including room service and a breakfast offering.

Pools & signature amenity

Moxy Boston Downtown – Pools & signature amenity

Moxy Boston Downtown does not have a swimming pool; its signature amenities are social spaces and rooftop venues.

  • No on-site pool is available.
  • Rooftop spaces include Area24 and The Mezz for events and guest programming.
  • Complimentary fitness center provides workout options in lieu of a pool.

If a pool is important, Moxy is not the right pick; its focus is rooftop events and a lively bar scene.

InterContinental Boston – Pools & signature amenity

InterContinental features indoor recreational facilities alongside conference and spa services.

  • One indoor pool is listed among property amenities.
  • Additional wellness features include a full-service spa, steam room and 24-hour fitness center.
  • Pool accessibility support (pool hoist) is available on site.

InterContinental is the clear choice for guests who want an on-site pool and spa amenities.

Wellness & nightlife

Moxy Boston Downtown – Wellness & nightlife

Moxy balances a complimentary gym with a lively events and bar program for evening entertainment.

  • Complimentary fitness center with cardio equipment, free weights and strength machines; multiple sources describe 24-hour access.
  • Bar Moxy hosts trivia, DJ nights and live music on a rotating schedule.
  • Rooftop programming at Area24 and The Mezz adds evening options for guests.

Moxy is for guests who combine workouts with an active on-site nightlife and event schedule.

InterContinental Boston – Wellness & nightlife

InterContinental offers a quieter, more traditional hotel nightlife and an on-site spa for daytime relaxation.

  • Spa services are available by reservation; check the hotel for treatment schedules.
  • Bar/lounge offers a place for evening drinks with a quieter formal tone than a late-night bar program.
  • Extensive meeting and event programming means the hotel often hosts conferences and weddings.

InterContinental suits travelers who prefer spa time, quieter bars, and formal events to a nightclub-style scene.
