Check rates for The Revolution Hotel
Ad · affiliate links — we may earn a commission if you book through these links. It never changes the price you pay, and it never changes our verdict. How this works
No nightly price is quoted anywhere on this page: we hold no live rate for this property, and a rate printed into a static page is wrong within hours. These links open each partner’s own Bostonhotel search — search for “The Revolution Hotel” when you land. We link to the search rather than to a deep link because no per-property deep-link parameter has been verified for these programmes, and a link that quietly lands on the wrong hotel would be worse than one extra step. Trip.com is listed first because it is the partner we work with directly; if the property is not on it, Booking.com carries the widest inventory of the three. We may earn a commission from any of them, and that does not change what this page says about the hotel.
Booking direct? +1 617-848-9200 — we earn nothing from this one, and direct rates sometimes include breakfast or free cancellation that an aggregated rate does not.

The supplier’s overall score
Third-party guest reviews: 8.4/10 from 5,642 reviews — as of
This is an aggregate of published guest reviews from other booking sites, not a TravelShifu rating. We do not average it with anything, and we never restate it as structured data — Google’s review-snippet guidance says not to aggregate ratings from other websites, and every score we hold is somebody else’s.
