The restaurant features Boston's largest public rooftop with panoramic views, locally inspired fare, and modern elegance
Boston, MA – July 15, 2025 – The Cambria® Hotel Boston Downtown Seaport proudly announces the grand opening of The Essex Restaurant and Essex Rooftop, two dynamic food and beverage venues now open to guests and locals alike. This highly anticipated renovation marks a major milestone in the hotel’s evolution—reaffirming Cambria’s commitment to delivering immersive, locally inspired guest experiences in Boston’s most exciting neighborhoods.
Perched above Boston, Essex Rooftop is now the city’s largest publicly accessible rooftop with full food and beverage service. Guests can enjoy panoramic skyline views, chef-driven small plates, and inventive cocktails in a stylish, social setting. Designed for versatility, the rooftop transitions seamlessly from casual daytime lounging to sunset celebrations and vibrant evening gatherings.
Inside, The Essex Restaurant offers a refined yet welcoming dining experience that showcases the bounty of New England’s seasonal ingredients. With a menu built on thoughtful sourcing and bold flavors, the restaurant strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and comfort—ideal for hotel guests, neighborhood regulars, and destination diners alike.
"We’re proud to reinvest in Cambria Hotels and bring this exciting vision to life,” said the ownership group 6 West Broadway LLC. “The Essex Restaurant and Rooftop were designed not just to elevate the guest experience, but to create a culinary and cultural connection with the vibrant South Boston community.”
“The Essex is more than a dining venue—it’s an invitation to engage with Boston through taste, atmosphere, and hospitality,” added Fabio Pari, General Manager. “We’re thrilled to offer something truly special to both travelers and locals.”
Located at 6 West Broadway, the Cambria Hotel Boston Downtown Seaport features 159 modern guest rooms, over 2,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, and a fully equipped fitness center. Situated directly across from the Red Line Broadway MBTA station, the hotel offers easy access to the Seaport District, South End, and downtown Boston. Guests can walk to the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, the Harbor Walk, and dozens of local shops, restaurants, and galleries. Fenway Park, Copley Square, and Boston’s top universities are just a short subway ride away, making the hotel a convenient base for business travelers, tourists, and college visitors alike.
Cambria Hotels continues to grow its footprint in Greater Boston, with properties including Cambria Hotel Boston Somerville, located just minutes from Harvard University, MIT, and Tufts University, and a new location set to open in Plymouth this summer.
