The Boxer Boston
Industrial-chic boutique. Think cable-knit throw pillows, tufted steel-gray headboards, and plaid bedding mixed with open-framed steel wardrobes. The bones are New England industrial; the execution is unpretentious and a bit playful.
Ask for a room at the pointy end of the building for the most unusual triangular layout
Why It Matters
One of the very few hotels in Boston occupying a true flatiron building — a nine-story triangular brick structure built in 1904. The odd geometry means every room has a unique layout, and rooms at the pointy end are genuinely one-of-a-kind. Conde Nast Traveler Reader's Choice Top Hotel winner in both 2017 and 2018.
The Boxer sits inside Boston's 1904 Flatiron Building — a red-brick, triangular wedge that juts into the Bulfinch Triangle neighborhood. Originally the Bulfinch Hotel, it relaunched as The Boxer after a full renovation in 2013. Acquired by Spain's Eurostars Hotels in September 2025, the 80-room property is now rebranded 'Eurostars The Boxer' but keeps its industrial-chic bones: antique maps on ceilings, riveted-steel wardrobes, gaslamp-inspired lighting, and Calacatta marble bathroom countertops. It's a genuinely character-filled stay — the triangular building means no two rooms are the same layout, and a handful sit in the pointy end of the flatiron itself.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Connecting Family Room
Two independent rooms connected by an interior door — a smart pick for families or groups who want privacy but easy access to each other. The flatiron building means some of these units have genuinely unusual shapes.
Deluxe Double Room with Two Beds
Two generous beds in a well-designed room — the better option over the standard full room for two guests who don't want to share a bed. The clever layout maximizes the available space without it feeling cramped.
Two Doubles
Deluxe King Room
More space and a warmer finish than the standard king. High-quality materials and contemporary decor reinforce the boutique character. A step up for guests who want more elbow room without going to a full suite.
KingFull Room
Compact but well-designed with the hotel's industrial-chic aesthetic. Soft tones, quality materials, and considered lighting. Rooms are on the smaller side — guests consistently flag this — but the decor and fittings are well above average for the price.
Full/DoubleJunior Suite
City-facing with good natural light. The best balance of space, views, and style in the building. Contemporary atmosphere with meticulous finishes — good for both relaxing and getting work done.
KingKing Room
The standard king option — urban and balanced, with the same industrial-chic palette as the rest of the hotel. Sober, bright, and works equally well for a single night or a week-long stay.
KingKing Room Accessible
A spacious, ADA-adapted room with a king bed. Designed for freedom of movement without sacrificing the hotel's industrial-chic style.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
A full fitness center open around the clock. Includes Peloton bikes. Small but adequately equipped for a city boutique hotel.
The hotel offers 'Boxer bicycles' for guests to borrow and explore the neighborhood. The Charles River Esplanade is close, as is the Freedom Trail — both are excellent on two wheels.
The Freedom Trail starts just 0.3km from the front door. The hotel's location in the Bulfinch Triangle — itself on the National Register of Historic Places — puts guests squarely in one of Boston's most historically loaded neighborhoods.
