The downtown stay welcomes three new restaurants, coming June 25. 
Matria
Enjoy stunning views of the Fort Point Channel this summer while tasting the finest cuts of meat, vibrant vegetables and fragrant truffles at Matria (matriaboston.com). Located on the first floor of InterContinental Boston, this northern Italian steakhouse draws inspiration from Italy’s Piedmont region. Inside, find seating for 76 guests and additional tables for 64 diners on the outdoor patio. The decor blends authentic and contemporary styles, featuring brass and glass chandeliers, softwoods and warm natural lighting, all accentuated by the marble-clad wall. Stop by for lunch and savor classics like vitello tonnato and seafood tagliatelle, or visit for dinner to indulge in Piedmont’s hearty, savory flavors.
Bar Fellini
Those who dream of enjoying an aperitivo in Italy can satisfy their cravings at Bar Fellini (felliniboston.com). The 1960s Italian-themed cocktail lounge is inspired by the visionary Italian film director Federico Fellini, who is celebrated for his distinctive style of blending fantasy, architecture, and music. Exuding glamour and elegance, this timeless bar promises guests a “Mad-Men-esque” experience. Enjoy small bites from Matria, such as caponata and short rib arancini served aperitivo style. Pair each bite with housemade cocktails dominated by the three Italian classics—the timeless negroni, bold martini and lively spritz.
The Loyall Counting Room
Looking for a night of revelry? This secret new speakeasy beckons. Tucked away from the bustling hotel lies the Loyall Counting Room (loyallboston.com), a hideaway that seats an exclusive 25 guests. Taking its name from the Loyall Nine and Sons of Liberty, this spot represents Boston’s reputation for hosting free-thinkers and rebels. Transport back into the colonial era amid dark wood, flickering candlelight and a secret code word for entry, all while enjoying specialty cocktails crafted with ingredients like applejack and fino sherry.
