A diverse selection of 15 restaurants, bars and lounges can be found throughout the resort, ranging from fine dining to casual fare. Successful concepts from Wynn and Encore Las Vegas will open at Encore Boston Harbor, including the acclaimed Sinatra restaurant, world-famous Wynn Buffet and Rare Steakhouse – an upscale steakhouse experience inspired by the legendary SW Steakhouse at Wynn Las Vegas.
 
Encore Boston Harbor will also place a heavy emphasis on locally inspired venues, embracing the diverse array of produce and ingredients from New England and the Atlantic waters.

Spa and Salon
The 17-treatment room Spa at Encore Boston Harbor, carefully balancing mind, body and spirit, features a grand corridor adorned with floor lanterns, Venetian chandeliers and hand-painted silk walls. The men’s and women’s lockers rooms are richly finished spaces, where the lockers are covered in cream-colored crocodile leather, the perfect way to ease into the luxury to come. The spa will offer treatments like the Good Luck Ritual, a customized massage, foot treatment, hand therapy and botanical scalp treatment based on the five Chinese elements. A glamorous salon and barber lie adjacent to The Spa, offering luxurious hair and nail treatments, in addition to cuts and colors.

The low-profile European-style boats feature plush seating, gloss-varnished teak wood and a below-deck salon seating area with large hull windows and overhead skylights.

About Encore Boston Harbor
Encore Boston Harbor is a $2.6 billion five-star global destination gaming resort featuring 671 hotel rooms with sweeping views of the Boston skyline and Boston Harbor, an ultra-premium spa, specialty retail, 15 dining and lounge venues, and state-of-the-art ballroom and meeting spaces. It is the largest private, single-phase development in the history of the Commonwealth.
 
Situated on the waterfront along the Mystic River and connected to Boston Harbor, Encore Boston Harbor will open up the Everett shoreline to the public for the first time in more than a century. The resort has privately funded a clean-up of the heavily contaminated site and is creating a six-acre park along the water which will feature pedestrian and bicycle paths that provide access to the waterfront, an events lawn, picnic and public viewing areas. Ornate floral displays, retail and dining experiences will overlook the Encore Harborwalk.
 
Encore Boston Harbor will connect to points across the harbor via a robust water transportation system that the resort is introducing. Low-profile European-style boats will be used to sail back and forth without the need to raise area drawbridges. Encore Boston Harbor is expected to open in June 2019.
