Don’t let the pressure of picking out the perfect gifts take the joy out of the season. Read on to see why you should check in to the Row Hotel at Assembly Row for the perfect holiday shopping staycation in Boston!
Holiday Shopping Staycation at Assembly Row
Assembly Row is an amazing new area just outside of Boston. Filled with high-end shops and restaurants, it is a nice weekend destination for Bostonians. And during the holiday season, it is a mecca for shoppers. The Row Hotel opened this fall and is the newest Autograph Hotel in the Boston area. The chic lobby and the friendly staff immediately welcome you when you arrive.
Once you head up to your room you are then offered modern, clean décor and a lovely view of the bustling shops below.
Holiday Shopping Staycation: Dining Options
The on-property restaurant, Reflections, has a menu that is filled with all the tasty things you are going to want to dig into after a long day hunting for the perfect gift.
We started with the cantaloupe salad and the tuna & asparagus tartare. And then we moved only the Asian salad and the roasted pork belly. We finally finished with some ribeye and then of course dessert!
What to Do on Your Holiday Shopping Staycation
