Best of Boston

Having just opened its doors in early May after a year-long renovation, this Brant Point landmark is fresh-faced and ready for its close-up. Calling itself a “love note to the great American summer," the hotel now offers guests complimentary bikes, all-day poolside dining, and an on-site game room and arcade, among other plush amenities. Brought to life by Blue Flag Capital (the team that’s revitalized multiple hotels on island, including Faraway, Blue Iris, and Life House), the swoon-worthy new guest rooms were redesigned in soft hues with midcentury-modern finishes that have a hip yet relaxing vibe—just what you want for an island vacation.
