BOSTON, MA (April 7, 2025) - The Boston Harbor Hotel is proud to open a marketplace this Spring, Dandelion, a welcoming space offering a curated selection of artisan roasted coffee, bakery items, grab-and-go sandwiches, salads, and expertly sourced provisions. Dandelion is opening April 7th, ushering in a new era of hospitality to the Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five Diamond hotel.
"Dandelion represents our commitment to thoughtful hospitality that extends beyond the traditional hotel experience," said Stephen Johnston, Managing Director of the Boston Harbor Hotel.
