Above the City

Beacon Hill, Boston

At the foot of Beacon Hill, the streets give way to the Charles. Above them, a rooftop terrace makes room for evenings outdoors.

The kitchen, dining area, and lounge are arranged so that cooking can be part of the evening from the moment guests arrive. Dinner can run long, and when the table is cleared, there’s somewhere to take a glass and sit a little longer.

On the Fourth of July, when the city gathers along the Esplanade, the fireworks can be seen from here, too.
