Yes , please come ...its very hard getting the members to post on the newer section...there still on the World section...
Random thought. Recently came back from NYC where I stayed in the 44-story DoubleTree by the Hilton on 8 Stone Street in Fidi. Got placed on the 29th floor with a terrible view which gave me the time to wonder and realize, Boston doesn't really have any tall hotels. The tallest is probably either the Ritz Carlton at Millennium Place or the Marriot at the Custom House or the Weston at Back Bay. I wonder why is that, as in why hasn't a hotel chain considered opening a hotel where they are located high above the city. I guess the Four Season going into 1 Dalton will be a started but I feel like the market is probably there and they can probably command a hefty price for any wealthy tourist who wants to stay 500 ft+ above the city for a couple of days.

Be careful what you wish for. Many of the tall hotels are tall because land prices are so high and they are built cheaply. There is a notorious developer, Sam Chang, who has been throwing these up all over town and they are as cookie cutter as a suburban shopping mall.
