Welcome to Boston, a city brimming with charm and unfolding love stories. At The Envoy Hotel, Autograph Collection, we’re not just about stylish stays — we’re about welcoming you to new beginnings. If you’re planning a memorable proposal, look no further than this curated guide of the city’s most swoon-worthy proposal spots. From lush gardens to a vibrant skyline rooftop, there’s a prime location for every couple looking to start their wedding chapter.

Boston Common

A verdant oasis and the country’s oldest park, Boston Common is a stage for love stories set against a historical tapestry. Here, your proposal becomes a blend of historical elegance and timeless charm. Have a heartfelt proposal by Frog Pond, and plan ahead to have a photographer capture your special moment, in an age-old setting.

The Public Garden

The Public Garden, America’s first public botanical garden, is a picturesque locale. With its manicured lawns, colorful flower beds, and famous Swan Boats gliding across the lagoon, it’s as if you’ve stepped into a fairytale. Proposing on the charming bridge overlooking the water, especially during the spring when the flowers are in full bloom, is an image you’ll carry forever.

Acorn Street in Beacon Hill 

Acorn Street, often referred to as the “most photographed street in America,” offers a quaint and historic backdrop. The cobblestone street, lined with preserved colonial brick homes, displays an endearing old-world charm. A proposal here, at dusk when the streetlights cast a soft glow, feels like a step back in time.

Harborwalk Lookout Terrace at Seaport Fan Pier Park

This spot for lively city vibes is the perfect place to propose against the Boston skyline. Take a knee by the Harborwalk’s waterfront, just as the sun sets over the city, creating a picture-perfect panorama. Afterward, take a stroll through the area before exploring nearby dining options. For waterfront views, check out Woods Hill Pier 4 for farm-to-table dining, or Pier 6 for fresh seafood and sweeping views of the cityscape. If you’re hoping for a more luxurious atmosphere, Rare Steakhouse is a more elevated seaside choice, known for its quality meats, curated wine list, and impeccable service.

Private City Cruise

For a proposal that’s both an adventure and a loving declaration, a serene cruise into the Boston Harbor is unmatched. Book a private charter with Massachusetts Bay Lines or board a sailboat with Classic Harbor Line. Here, you can propose to your loved one over Boston’s tranquil waters, surrounded by stunning city views. Your voyage to a shared future awaits.

Lookout Rooftop

Perched at the top of The Envoy, this chic rooftop bar is a premier Boston proposal site. For a more intimate proposal at Lookout Rooftop, our team at The Envoy will be happy to help you coordinate a time and space, with the skyline vista to accompany you. To toast the moment with family and friends, you can also make a group reservation to celebrate. Lookout Rooftop offers a lively atmosphere and private spaces, making it perfect for an engagement party.

Later, head down to Para Maria for a post-proposal celebration. Helmed by a two-time Chopped champion, Tatiana Pairot Rosana, the restaurant showcases Latin-inspired cuisine with a modern twist. Featuring an array of dishes that are both visually stunning and tantalizing to taste, enjoy the perfect meal to honor your big moment.
