Sunrise this a.m. from a harbor-facing window of Room 1802 at Boston Custom House.

Wow, this thread has shown so many views in different places that we have experienced and enjoyed many times.
This is Boston Harbor, and is as great a view as can be found in the Marriott system.
Frankly, any of the views, whether seeing the harbor or the romantic city view, North or South, are gorgeous.
Custom House is our favorite property in the Marriott system, bar none, and that may be hard to imagine for those who think
we are strictly Grande Ocean lovers----we do love GO, but Custom House is very special.
We've been to Custom House 7 of the past 9 years, and are scheduled to be there again this November, circumstances permitting.
In Fall it's amazing....the very best is in mid-October, but it's enjoyable in November and December too. Pre-Christmas is always amazing.

I imagine this location and view during ski season is hard to beat. This is our second visit and did not realize first visit how great the location is for hiking. Beautiful trails that are so convenient.

We love HHI and own at the big three. I think Custom House should be on our bucket list, seems like our likes are similar. jd2601


We've had that view, and it's nothing short of amazing, especially in ski season when it's absolutely covered up in snow!
The town is exhilarating and alive, and the time together as a family is forever seared into our memories.
It's one fantastic resort, one that will never be forgotten when the kids are young, but yet old enough to ski and have the time of their life!
Can't say enough about Park City in ski season, whether you're at Summit Watch or Mountainside, and we've been at both several times,
fortunate enough to enjoy those great conditions 6 years running. We still smile when talking about it.
One of the reasons we love to reminisce about our amazing trips to experience the greatest powder on the planet, and some of the best runs anywhere. Thanks for sharing.

We plan to go there again at about this time next year. It is a great late summer destination. Now we just need Marty to do some restaurant reviews.

Just use this review article below:
I agree with the list, and my best two are actually her best two, Grappa & Riverhorse on Main, so she's definitely on the money.


(if an ad page appears over the opening page, refresh and then continue scrolling the list, good luck)

Marriott AC Hotel in Innsbruck Austria, late August 2021, from top floor room, and common area balcony.

The thing that looks like a tower to the left of the green grassy area in the first photo is a ski jump. This was view from the room.

There was a common area balcony you could go out onto from the hall, looking in the other direction towards the heart of town, seen below.

I would call that a three bedroom, because I think I'd be sleeping on the lounger on the balcony every night, LOL!

We love those ocean front corner units! Can't get any closer to the water. And since they are hotel conversions even the 1 bedroom comes with 2 bathrooms! Enjoy!

Distance to the ocean is SO close you can almost touch it. Note the high tide in October leaving a very narrow beach in front…in combo with Kaanapali beach erosion issues.

View looking straight down from the balcony. Notice also the large lanias on floor 2, 3 and 4.

So we checked out of Waiohai this morning, flew to Maui, and we got this view at Maui Ocean Club. We own ocean view, but this is darn near ocean front. 8105/6.
