Swim #48: Sports Club/LA, Boston, MA

February 4, 2011 -- Wow!  I had no idea this existed within the city of Boston.  Located next to the new Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Sports Club/LA (http://www.mpsportsclub.com/clubs/boston/) seems designed to fit in with the Ritz' clientele.  I don't mean that as a negative -- it's just really, really beautiful.  And incredibly spacious -- 114,000 square feet including huge lobbies and sitting areas in what must be awfully expensive real estate.


I came here today with my friend Debbie, who started the day with a hilarious argument with the Ritz doorman.  Upon entering the club, we found that the first Friday of every month is Free Guest day - lucky us!  We were given locker keys and set off to explore.  The locker room was beautiful and, again, huge.  The pool was a little warm (just a couple of degrees) but the cleanliness, peacefulness, and the view of the city make this a winner.  We had a wonderful swim and sauna.

Following that, Deb took me out for a birthday lunch at JerNe at the Ritz.  It couldn't have been a better day!
