Like its sister hotel, the AC Hotel by Marriott Boston North, the Row Hotel at Assembly Row favors a color palette of black, silver and cocoa. All rooms are supplied with Illy espresso machines – and if you fancy a bite, the in-hotel La Cucina turns out tasty pizzas and pasta dishes in funky, blue-hued surrounds.
