From a convenience standpoint, it’s hard to do better than the Hilton Boston Logan Airport. The hotel is attached to the airport via an enclosed walkway, so you can walk from your gate to the check-in desk. Guests can use the business center, indoor pool and gym, and a 24-hour shuttle service to the subway and water taxi. For award nights, keep in mind that Hilton no longer publishes an award chart and uses a dynamic pricing model for all of its hotels. With that said, you can often redeem a free night at the Hilton Boston Logan Airport from around 39,000 points per night.

The Renaissance Boston Waterfront Hotel is just a short drive from the airport and is located in one of Boston’s most popular areas, the Seaport District. The hotel offers great water views of the harbor and is within walking distance of great restaurants, the TD Garden, the Boston Convention, and the Exhibition Center. With Marriott Bonvoy’s dynamic pricing, the points needed will largely depend on the time of year that you visit but are around 44,000 points per night.

The Hyatt Regency Boston Harbor offers breathtaking views of the harbor and city skyline. The hotel offers a complimentary airport shuttle for added convenience. The hotel is a short walk from some of Boston’s most famed historical sites, dining options, and public transit options like the MBTA Train and Water Taxi. Award nights at this Category 4 hotel cost from 12,000 points per night.
