Where are they located? I heard there was one in the Intercontinental but I can't find any info.

Customs Tower ($3 "donation), Marriott discourages visits
I've heard this a few times that the Marriott dislikes visitors for the top deck, but I found this to be false. My girlfriend and I wandered in one day and the person at the desk was happy to inform us that a tour would be occurring in an hour if we could wait. While talking with them a manager came out and said he'd take us up himself if we wanted and was very nice and happy to do so. I can't recall how much the donation was, though. After he used some hotel card to allow us to use the 2nd elevator (need to transfer elevators at some point, and apparently the 2nd one needs a room key or employee key) he just let us go up by ourselves and chill. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Independence WharfThe building next to the Intercontinental Hotel (not Atlantic Wharf, the other way, red cladding with green glass). That has a pretty neat, free outdoor one.
too bad it wen away
There was a time about 3 years ago that many of us were able to gain access to the 58th floor. (elevator's weren't properly locked) Here is the link to what we are missing out on... http://www.archboston.com/community/showthread.php?t=2647
I had friends who worked in the building and signed me in, if that is what you mean. I'm pretty sure you can't just walk past the front desk or anything. However, there was work being done up there, and normally they disabled that floor stop on the elevator, but sometimes they forgot.

"visit the 26th floor observation deck"
They certainly don't discourage visitors, but you are only allowed up during very specific times of day. Last I knew of it was 6 days a week (not Sunday I think?) at 2:00 only. Before that it used to be 10:00 and 4:00. I absolutely recommend calling and asking somebody if you want to check it out. Also, it used to be free, but the last time I went up it cost $3.
