The first thing we learned about Encore Boston Harbor is its price tag $2.6 billion. Sort of a Disney paradise in a casino hotel. It is huge,-made entirely of silk flowers and crystals-and on the carousel seats are stuffed animals – monkeys, bears and the like. Then, in the lobby, there is the carousel. Under the guest’s feet are usually gold or red or bright blue mosaic patterns. It is a unique hotel in a unique location, one where flowers appear to bloom, even in November and December when we were there, and no surface seems average. Encore Boston Harbor is a 33-acre casino hotel property, not in Boston Harbor but on the Mystic river, in the industrial part of Boston.
