The Residences at Rowes Wharf is undoubtedly one of Boston's most classic and exclusive buildings, combining the finest elements of luxury, the water, and superior services. Built in 1987, this 16-story mixed-use project is highly visible by its distinctive domed rotunda and its giant archway entrance, designated by its popular moniker, “The Gateway to Boston,” from the water. This structure contains around 100 private residential condos, tastefully blended with the five-star Boston Harbor Hotel.

The indulgence that comes with life at Rowes Wharf comes from its setting, along with the panoramic sights it provides. Many units feature tremendous harbor, city, and Financial District sights through walls of oversized, arched, or floor-to-ceiling windows. Some units offer private balconies or terraces, providing an extremely rare chance to enjoy the outdoors from the water’s edge.

Although the interior design is customized for each apartment, given the extensive renovations that took place in the past, each apartment comes with expansive open spaces, world-class kitchens made from the finest appliances, marble bathrooms, and superior finishes, making it apt for a discerning clientele. The architecture by Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill (SOM) aptly combines traditional brick and granite elements, making it both classic and modern in its scale.

However, it’s its unique white-glove service, made possible by its affiliation with the Boston Harbor Hotel right next door, that clearly distinguishes Rowes Wharf from its competitors. The five-star services offered by its residents include:

• 24 Hour Concierge, Doorman
• Valet Garage Parking
• Full access to the health club and spa at Rowes Wharf, featuring a 60-foot indoor saltwater lap pool and fitness center.

Such services include room service, maid service, and catering from the world-renowned restaurants that the hotel has. The amenity of having direct access to the private marina and water taxi, including airport shuttle service. With its location at the corner of the Waterfront, Financial District, and North End, the Rowes Wharf allows for easy access to the Harborwalk, Faneuil Hall, and the Rose Kennedy Greenway, so that its residents can enjoy an ‘extreme’ urban lifestyle.
