BOSTON
Ciceroʼs Development Corporation, a leading full-service hotel renovations contractor for more than 40 years, today announced it has been selected to perform extensive renovation of the legendary Rooftop Ballroom in the Omni Parker House, a grand luxury hotel that has been symbolic to Boston's rich history and culture since 1856.
With panoramic views of Boston as a dramatic backdrop, the Rooftop Ballroom has been the setting for glamorous wedding receptions and celebrity parties. Exclusively situated on the fifteenth floor, it features a gracefully arched ceiling, crystal chandeliers and offers 3,500 square feet of space.
As part of this landmark renovation, Cicero's will be sensitively but thoroughly transforming the face of the Rooftop Ballroom with historically accurate wall coverings, paints and carpeting that capture the look and allure of a bygone era. In addition, ceiling lighting will be upgraded to dramatically highlight the room's many architectural features. The new lighting system merges classic design with modern energy-efficient dimming and LED technology, ushering in the ballroom to the 21st century. Life safety systems will be also be upgraded to current standards.
Along with the Rooftop Ballroom, Cicero's is renovating an additional 585 square feet of the nearby pre-function area, the 1,000-square foot Wheatley Terrace meeting room, and all connecting corridors on the 15th floor. Bathrooms in these areas are to receive new sink hardware and custom millwork partitions that lend weight, size and substance.
The longest continuously operated hotel in America, the Omni Parker House has hosted luminaries of the arts, politics and business since 1856. It was recently awarded the "Highest in Hotel Guest Satisfaction Among Upper-Upscale Hotel Chains" by J.D. Power and Associates.
