As the days get longer and the sun shines brighter, we know you’re itching for a getaway. But if you’re as unlucky as so many other New Yorkers, your vacay days or paydays at work are running thin. So instead of drowning your sorrows in the idea of a potentially vacation-less summer, consider saving the French Riviera and Caribbean cruise until things pick up again, and book yourself a fantastic mini-trip up the east coast to Boston, Massachusetts.
Boston’s history, diversely delicious cuisine, and something-for-everyone nightlife make it an amazing city to explore regardless of the season. However, it also has a surprising number of summer activities to give you that sunny glow you’re day dreaming about from inside your cubicle right now. The Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel seems to be thinking the same way, as it is now offering two exciting options for summer travelers.
If you love the idea of taking in the city’s highlights, but despise the traditional sweaty tour guide route for doing so, or have ever really wanted to be a contestant on the Amazing Race, the Summer Scavengers package is perfect for you. This deal includes a scavenger hunt via virtual app that leads visitors to prime waterfront attractions, such as the Institute of Contemporary Art, and the Boston Harbor Islands. Plus, like any good scavenger hunt, on-site challenges will pop up to provide a unique and genuine Boston experience.
In addition to the app and participation in the hunt, here is what else you will get with this package:
• Deluxe overnight accommodations
• Breakfast buffet for two at 606 Congress, to fuel up for an action-packed day
• Personal assistance by the Renaissance Navigator to set up SCVNGR trek app
• Complimentary use of the hotel’s health club and lap pool
Rates for the Scavenger Package start at $259 per night and reservations can be made at www.RenaissanceBoston.com (enter promotional code YX1) or by calling 1-800-HOTELS1 and asking for the Summer Scavengers package.
For those who want to enjoy Boston’s waterfront sites with a side of exercise, take a look at the hotel’s Bike Boston Package. Following the Boston Harbor Walk’s path, pedal your way to countless iconic stops, such as the beyond-cool New England Aquarium and beautiful Charlestown Navy Yard.
With this package, you will receive:
• Deluxe overnight accommodations
• Bike rentals arranged by the Renaissance Navigator
• Biker’s Booty Power Pack, filled with bottled water & house-made energy bars
• Map of Boston’s “Summer on the Waterfront” trail
• Complimentary use of health club and lap pool for post-bike relaxation
The Bike Boston package starts at $239 per night. Make your reservations at www.RenaissanceBoston.com (promotional code ZJL), or by calling 1-800-HOTELS1 and asking for the Bike Boston package.
