The Pool at The Royal Sonesta Boston

"This luxurious hotel is popular with business travelers and with families, who enjoy the huge pool"

"Also great: an attractive indoor-outdoor pool, 6,000 square feet of refurbished patio dining space, and a restaurant that sources 100% of its ingredients from New England"

" Royal Sonesta's neighbor Hotel Marlowe offers a boutique-like feel at a reasonable price, but it lacks a pool"

"The Sonesta is also notable for its atrium-style pool (equipped with a handy retractable roof and sun deck)"

"A large pool is covered with a sunroof, which retracts on sunny days"

"Fans of this Cambridge chain outpost praise its "family feel", as well as guestrooms armed with "modern touches" and "spectacular" views of the skyline and Charles River, with premier suites sporting whirlpool tubs and contemporary art by names like Lichtenstein; some gripe that the location is slightly removed from major neighborhoods, but it's "close to the T", and there is "excellent food" at on-site restaurants dante and Artbar"

"Appealing to both business and leisure travellers, the riverside Royal Sonesta offers an ideal location, close to both Boston and Cambridge, with plenty of perks, from free Wi-Fi and a courtesy shuttle bus, to an indoor pool and lots of meeting spaces"

"Glass blocks and a retractable roof mark the pool, which supplements whirlpools and a well-equipped 24-hour health club attracting locals"
