Prudential Tower

The view from the top of the prudential was amazing. It shows the entire city of Boston, such a captivating view. The price was cheap (less than $ 20,) and they had all kinds of cool info graphics and videos that present the rich culture and history of Boston. In terms of the rest of the building, I can’t say much. This review is about the top of the prudential, not the rest of the building.

yummy virgin piña colada, yummy vegetarian pasta, Noosh is a great waitress, the bartender yesterday was attentive even though I dont drink alcohol, the host men were very kind and helpful, the music performers and vocalists were AHMAZING, the view was beautiful, and the lighting was great. I barely had to wait for a window seat without a reservation~much appreciated because I attempted a formal one via phone but the line was busy each attempt. My new fave place to go! I would like more vegan options lol allergies

This place is a good place to go LOOK around, because unless you bring your EXTRA LARGE credit card, you may be going home with very little!
We were in town & it was unexpectedly colder outside, we needed to kill time, so we LOOKED around, then went for a bite to eat at the Factory. .cheesecake of course.

The Prudential Tower while I was in college, meant that I was close to home! My apartments have always been by the Pru for years and so this was a sign that my walking is almost completed.
I’ve taken my family and friends up to the observation deck many times and on a clear day, you can see a lot! But you don’t have to come here for just the view, there are shops and restaurants here for you to keep occupied. Also, one of their high end restaurants, Top of the Hub, offers a great view of the city while dining!
Tourists and locals alike love this tower and I don’t blame them.

Nice views of the Boston area. Make it a point to come here at least once during your stay in Boston. Go up to Top of the Hub for dinner or a drink!

An ideal sightseeing spot.
The tower includes a mall, the Observation Deck that offers 360 views Boston and the restaurant Top of the Hub where you can dine high above Boston with scenes of the city.
The building can’t be missed, located off of Boylston and about a mile walk from Fenway. Make the tower a destination during your visit.

We had heard about the observation deck from the tour guides and publications so decided to make the trip to the top. There are not many places that we heard about in Boston that would give you a high up vantage point of the city and surrounding area.
Admission was pretty steep we thought at $ 28 per adult and $ 17 per student but did come with an electronic guide phone that information was provided on with points of interest below. There was also a small theater near the core of the floor where 3 different films were shown. The weather was beautiful and view great, but the glass windows were filthy and had not been cleaned that day (we went in the late afternoon). Given the cost of admission, we would have thought that they would have had someone on site wiping windows all day. If you are on a budget, skip it!

Such a great place to see; shop, eat, drink and observe. Definite must!

Beautiful views at the top of the tower! Definitely worth going up and checking out all of Boston from the sky. Loved it!

Espectacular views of the city, and near of it, there are a Cheese Cake Factory.
Vistas fantasticas de la ciudad, al lado hay un Cheesecake factory por si llegas demasiado temprano y deseas desayunar antes

Amazing view, very crowded by we were just 2 and we were able to have a seat immediately. The dessert was very very good! I ordered a green tea but the pot with hot water was broken and the cup was chipped. Service was a bit rushed but nice

Went here on a saturday afternoon to enjoy the Boston view!
Immediately seat on a table, fast service!
We order 2 Boston Pie and 2 green tea. The boston pie is filled with a tasty cream and is surrounded by ‘frozen’ chocolate! :)
Not many raspberry tho! And it was a pity that one of the two cup of tea was scratch and very small pot of hot water!!!

One of the two iconic towers in the city of Boston. The other one being the John Hancock building. At the top level there are amazing views of the city. In particular, a great view of Fenway Park. Back in college I would go up there and watch Red Sox games through one of the telescopes for free. The telescopes took quarters for like 5 minutes or so. But at the time, there was one broken telescope that worked without needing any quarters. For a huge Red Sox fan, and a poor college student, that’s like striking gold being able to take in a game for free. It’s also a pretty relaxing spot to bring reading assignments at night. Or, bring a date and just have a good time hanging out with each other while overlooking the city.

Go for the view stay for the people watching. We went a weeknight and it was packed with a piano player. Great place for a late light dinner and a few cocktails

I thought this was going to be a huge mall filled with a lot of different shops; instead, it is a huge mall with a not so great variety of shops to choose from. I think this is the result of being located next to Newbury street, but I was still surprised by how little they have. Granted, I am a tourist, so I’m not sure what Prudential is actually supposed to be known for.
They do have a very nice Loft store that is enormous. And they also have a very large food court.

The view is amazing… The food is more expensive comparing to the quality of food!!!

Amazing view, great service. The menu was surprisingly varied, and the prices were surprisingly fair for a place that I expected to be somewhat of a tourist attraction. Definitely worth visiting for the view, and worth staying for the food.

I am finely catching up on my notes of Boston trip in May 2013
This building gives you a panoramic (360 degree) view of Boston, Cambridge, and Charles River. The audio tour with the headphones are okay. The price is a rip-​off to the tourists and the American people
I definitely recommend going to «The Top of The Hub» for the view and the refreshments.

Great view of Boston …

Yay! I was able to go to the top of the Prudential TOWER for FREE! To go up the Prudential Tower you need to pay $$$, but I love it when companies throw parties in fancy places with an open bar and all you can eat food! This is probably the tallest building in Boston and has 360 views of the city. I was lucky enough to see the sunset over the city and get some awesome views.
You can see the MIT dome, Fenway Stadium, and much more from this 52^nd floor vantage point.
