There’s an iPad that controls all the features of your room, such as lights, drapes, television, and temperature. The Internet connection is brisk, which can also be the source of hotel room frustration. She can answer questions, connect to your phone to play music, or make calls.
#Encore rooms boston plus#
Encore Boston integrates it all, plus Alexa shares your room. As someone who stays in a lot of hotels, I can tell you with authority that hotel room technology often feels like a slapdash, higgledy-piggledy combination of old and new. In addition to being relaxing, my room was also quiet.īut what impressed me most about the room was the technology. If that’s not enough space, starter suites are 1,350 square feet, followed by suites that are 3,350 square feet, or 5,850 square feet.įeatures of the standard rooms include 55-inch HDTVs (plus a 24-inch flat screen over the bathtub), sheets with a ridiculously high thread count, and very comfortable mattresses. Encore’s website says these rooms are the largest standard hotel rooms not only in Boston, but in New England, coming in at 650 square feet. Once I answered questions such as “Is the chair upholstery oatmeal? Would you call that shade of wallpaper sea grass or burlap?” there was a lot to like about my room at Encore.įirst is the space itself. The Chinese market was present en masse, but I also saw European tourists, a klatch of well-tailored lesbians eating Italian food, couples and families of all ages from Boston and nearby towns who came to see a carousel made of flowers, and plenty of ruffians at the gaming tables and pensioners at the slots.īut let’s get past the persnickety business of examining the many facets of beige. It’s not as diverse as anything in Vegas, but there is an international flair I hadn’t anticipated. I had forgotten about the culture of casino diversity until I checked into the Encore Boston Harbor for a night and started exploring the place. It’s like watching the opening ceremony of the Olympics, except everyone is heavier and jonesing for a slot machine and a vodka tonic.
It includes cartels of holiday-makers stumbling around with cocktails in oversize novelty cups, brand-obsessed shoppers in sweat shirts that scream “GUCCI,” and couples yelling at each other with sunburnt faces. Plant yourself on a bench at the Bellagio or find a table at the Flamingo and enjoy the parade of humanity from your personal grandstand. EVERETT - I often tell people that I don’t go to Las Vegas for the gambling - I go for the people watching.
