I’ve been to Encore so many times and it’s honestly such a beautiful place, The resort is super clean, organized, accessible, and the design is gorgeous!!! there’s a huge lawn area outside with chairs, a beautiful waterfront walking path, and everything is open to the public, not just hotel guests, Inside you’ll find tons of luxury restaurants and fast food options like Shake Shack and Dunkin, plus the casino for 21+. There’s also free parking with a huge underground garage and free Encore buses around Everett, which makes it really easy to get there, I love how much attention they put into the little details, the statues, the aesthetic, and making the space inclusive. Definitely worth visiting even if you’re not staying at the hotel.

Nice place and beautiful lobby and general area. I love the color schemes throughout the facility and rooms. I enjoyed the dining at red 8 and rare steak lounge and bar. Mystique wasn't as good as I expected. Security staff wasn't very welcoming. I wasnt able to use the water shuttle but think it's a great convenience as I decided to drive to downtown which incurred more costs. Use the ship if you want to explore the town!

Bringing full Las Vegas-style luxury to the Boston waterfront, Encore Boston Harbor is a massive, opulent resort that delivers top-tier design, high-end retail, and serious convenience though you definitely pay a premium for the experience once you step inside. ? The Atmosphere & Visuals • The Atrium & Conservatories: The property interior is stunning. The central conservatory features a giant floral Ferris Wheel surrounded by fresh flower beds, illuminated trees, and a soaring glass ceiling. • Grand Architecture: Broad marble concourses with mosaic tile inlays lead to a grand lobby area dominated by double curved escalators framing a massive artistic ceramic vase. • Luxury Retail: The shopping promenade feels right off the Vegas strip, featuring high-end boutiques like Watches of Switzerland (carrying IWC, Omega, and Hublot), The Wynn Collection, and The Drugstore along polished walkways that head down toward RARE Steakhouse and the casino floor. • Exterior & Views: The sleek, bronze-curved glass tower stands prominently along the Mystic River with expansive views back toward the Boston skyline. ? Parking & EV Logistics • Free Valet & Self-Parking: A massive plus for a Boston-area resort—both valet and self-parking are completely free for all guests and visitors. • EV Chargers: The self-parking garage is exceptionally EV-friendly, stocked with plenty of Loop chargers conveniently located across each level of the deck so you can top off while on-site. ? Drinks, Casino Floor & Pricing Reality Check While the property itself is spectacular, the pricing on drinks and sundries is steep across the board: • Restaurant Cocktails: Expect high-end pricing at any of the sit-down restaurants, where cocktails routinely run $19 to $22 USD a drink. • Casino Floor Drinks: The "free" drink service while gambling on the casino floor is painfully slow. If you don't want to wait 45 minutes between rounds, buying directly from the casino floor bar will cost you around $15 USD per drink. • Cigarettes: If you need a pack inside the hotel casino or at the resort shops, brace yourself—cigarettes are priced at an outrageous $28 USD per pack. ? The Verdict Encore Boston Harbor delivers a true 5-star resort feel with incredible visual detail, seamless parking, and great amenities. Just be aware of the heavy markups on beverages and convenience items before you arrive. Pro-Tip: Take advantage of the complimentary valet or self-parking and grab an EV spot, for a charge, on any deck level, but grab your pre-game drinks or convenience items before heading onto the resort property to avoid the $22 cocktail and $28 cigarette pack markups!

Really well done. Rooms were gorgeous, service was fantastic, smoke-free casino.... what more could you ask for? Well, I guess you could ask for better restaurant experience, however I think those should actually go in the restaurant reviews so I did not deduct any points from the hotel / Casino itself for this, but it is arguably part of the hotel so, your choice. Overall a great experience and can't wait to come again

Overall, I would have given this hotel 4 out of 5 stars. The hotel is very impressive and has a high end feel from the moment you walk in. The lobby, casino, hallways, and common areas are all clean and well kept. It feels like a place that was built with a lot of attention to detail. I also liked that it did not feel overcrowded, which made the stay more relaxing. The room was very comfortable and had plenty of space. The bed was great, the bathroom was nice, and everything felt clean and fresh. Housekeeping also did a good job, and the staff around the property were friendly and professional. Another thing I liked was that the hotel has enough to do without needing to leave right away. The casino is nice, the spa was enjoyable, and there are restaurants and places to walk around. It felt like a good place for a short getaway. The only real problem I had was with the dining credit. My stay came with an $80 credit that I understood could be used for room service or at a restaurant. I placed a room service order before noon and waited about an hour. When I called to ask about it, I was told the kitchen had closed and that my order would not be coming. At that point I still needed lunch, so I went to one of the hotel restaurants instead. When I checked out, I was told the credit only applied to breakfast and would not be used for my meal. I explained that I had tried to use the credit earlier and only went to the restaurant because my room service order was never delivered. The manager, Karen, offered only a $20 credit toward my spa charges. That part was frustrating and not handled very well. It made the stay end on a disappointing note. Still, the hotel itself is very nice, and I would consider going back. I just think the hotel should be clearer about the credit and should have handled that situation better.

I used to play Little League soccer across the way on dexter street and I can say without a doubt that Encore is the best thing that has happened here since the pilgrims. The green space is serene. I hope it continues to expand and that they build a pedestrian bridge along the purple line tracks into assembly. It's pretty in here! Maybe it's a bit over the top and gaudy but I can't help but be impressed by the curved escalators, flowers, gold, and art. I don't know what that explosion of wood and paint behind the registration desk is but I love it, it is very cool I can not deny. Also, Everyone working here is super nice and helpful! Shoutouts to Freddy in room service! Overall I had a really great time BUT there were a few things that absolutely drove me up a wall: A) The concierge at check in suggested I could change the temperature of the room from the comfort of my Jacuzzi bathtub. Here was my irl experience with Alexa. me in the bathroom “Alexa, turn on the lights in the bathroom please” -noresponse me standing next to alexa “Alexa, please turn on the lights in the bathroom” alexa “Do you mean turn on all the lights?” me “No just the bathroom” alexa “i don't understand.” me “Alexa, open the curtains?” alexa “i… don't understand?” me “Alexa, what can you do?” alexa “.... i dont understand?” me *unplugs alexa* B) I get it, buttons are passee i guess but the two ipads are quite enough! we don't need curtains, and the Do-Not-Disturb signs to be exclusively controlled through touch screens! The Do-Not-Disturb in particular is a huge downgrade from the centuries old tried and true method of piece of paper on the door. I was just using the bathroom when all of the sudden all the lights turned off and all my curtains closed because housekeeping came into the room and touched “all off” Turning the entire room pitch black. That was NOT GOOD VERY BAD. The curtains are pretty freaking annoying too, if you try to move them they move themselves. you gotta press the buttons at the right time if you want it perfect. Opening the curtains just a crack is like the final boss of Dance Dance Revolution. just a tiny crack please for gods sake let me adjust my curtains with my hands. C) The high tech mini bar is a god forsaken scam designed by Lucifer himself. A stack of candy in a hotel room but if you move the candy for more than 30 seconds your card is charged?? Are you kidding? Is this a prank? I can't imagine what it’d be like to bring your kid in here my goodness gracious. D) If you are coming here be warned of the nightlife clientele. It is a Manchild Menagerie up in here. I’m glad that even rowdy frat bros have found a place in Boston they can go to be their true selves but for the rest of us, you know the drill, hide your kids, hide your wife, etc.

Excellent for first time visit, I signed up for membership and got 50 dollars to play plus 10 for military member, the most i got from all the casinos. Good services with free drinks and spacious parking lot. Lot of slot machines but some were down. No smoking room inside so I have to go outside to smoke. Didn't win but had awesome experience. Highly recommended, beautiful place.

Before even arriving, Encore’s Call Center helped me reserve and was very helpful. Their agents Steve and Kenneth handled everything for me. From the moment I set foot on the property, staff was ready to welcome me and assist me without even asking. I was greeted by Jim who was wonderful, always ready to offer me assistance and recommendations every single time I crossed his path. Melkamu offered to hold my bags right as I arrived, while I went shopping. Larry at the front desk assisted me throughout my stay as well! Jenn was the one who did my check-in, she was very welcoming. The room was very spacious, the amenities are absolutely worth it. With voice command you can control the room or use the iPad. The rooms give you that luxury suite vibe and it feels as if you are at the comfort of your own home, if not better. The complimentary boat shuttle located on the property which takes you to Long Wharf and back to the hotel was very useful to get around quickly. The hotel itself is spectacular, there are so many restaurants and the casino is very fun to visit. The free parking is a plus for those who drive, very worth it.

Amazing hotel and overall experience. The rooms were beautiful, modern, and very comfortable, and the entire property feels incredibly luxurious and well designed. There’s free parking, a full casino, and multiple great restaurants and bars inside the resort, so there’s plenty to do without leaving the property. Everything was clean, upscale, and very well maintained. It honestly feels like a Vegas-style resort right near Boston. Between the rooms, the casino, and the atmosphere, this is easily one of the nicest hotels in the area. Highly recommend.

Spent 5 days here enjoying to room, casino, and food. Parking was easy and abundant. Had food via both takeouts and restaurants - quality was consistent and service was excellent. Easy for friends to drop by and hang out together albeit could be a bit pricey paying cash instead of using comp points.
