The best-rated room in Boston — Five Diamond, Five-Star, and the only Forbes Five-Star spa in the city — Encore's, the other one on Forbes's Boston page, is in Everett. Four Seasons One Dalton is AAA Five Diamond, on AAA's list since 2020, and Forbes Five-Star, with Zuma, the Trifecta bar and a curved indoor pool.
The Wellness Floor has five treatment rooms, including a couples' room, and Forbes puts 215 rooms and suites on floors 8 to 21.
It's in Back Bay, not the Seaport, and the pages we read give no parking, breakfast or check-in times — the ratings are in writing, the logistics aren't.
