The Boston Harbor Hotel Brings Ice Skating to the Waterfront
A New Tradition Begins With Winter on the Wharf – A Season of 5-Star Fun and Festivities Imagined and Refined by the Boston Harbor Hotel
The Boston Harbor Hotel is pleased to announce the official debut of Winter on the Wharf and the city’s newest and most picturesque ice-skating rink, located under the Hotel’s iconic archway. Beginning on December 14, 2013, Bostonians, visitors, and adventurers big and small can enjoy all the pleasures of a New England winter – invigorating outdoor fun, breathtaking waterfront views, joyous celebrations and timeless winter classics.
Breathtaking views and a playful atmosphere come together at the Boston Harbor Hotel’s approximately 2,500 square foot (80 ft. by 30 ft.) Rotunda Rink to create a luxury winter retreat. Made with real ice, the Rotunda Rink can accommodate up to 75 skaters. Framed by spectacular views of both the harbor and city, the Rotunda Rink will open for the season with an inaugural Season Opener Celebration on Saturday, December 14, 2013 from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. (complimentary and open to the public).
Spend winter days and nights enjoying the food, drink, merriment, and spectacle of the Boston Harbor Hotel’s Winter on the Wharf, a season of festivities anchored by the new Rotunda Rink. Combining perennial favorites with one-of-a-kind special events and holiday traditions, Winter on the Wharf offers visitors a flurry of festivities that can be enjoyed throughout the winter months.
After a spin on the rink, skaters are invited to warm up with après-skate treats. Timeless winter indulgences like specialty s’mores, hot cocoa and Rowes Wharf Sea Grille’s seasonal Frost Tea are sure to warm children’s hearts and make adult spirits soar. Hand-crafted cocktails, signature dishes and sensational snacks prepared by the Boston Harbor Hotel’s award-winning culinary team will be offered daily in Rowes Wharf Sea Grille, Meritage and Rowes Wharf Bar.
