View the city of Boston from an outdoor observation deck atop a 750-foot-tall skyscraper with 360° views that lookout 33 miles. The new View Boston observatory features different attractions, dining options, and shopping experiences with prime vantage points of the city unlike anything before spanning the 50th, 51st, and 52nd floors of the Prudential Center.
It’s a bittersweet transformation for the city. With the expansion of View Boston, the landmark restaurant, Top of the Hub, closed its doors after 54 years in business to make way for the renovations. Luckily two new panoramic restaurants are coming along with the Skydeck, which is made from reclaimed woods of the Boston Harbor piers.
Dining at View Boston

If you’re looking for a dining experience to leave you at the edge of your seat, The Beacon is the spot to go. The Beacon serves up seasonally inspired menus to satiate any craving.
