Boston-Area Meetings Hotel Boosts Event Space

BURLINGTON, Mass.

The Boston Marriott Burlington has completed an 18-month, multimillion dollar renovation, bringing numerous improvements to the hotel's meeting space and function rooms.

Highlights of the Boston Marriott Burlington's renovations include:

Meeting and Great Room Space

A key focal point of the renovation is the welcoming Great Room, a Marriott initiative that re-imagines the traditional lobby as a space for both millennial travelers and the local community. The Great Room's large fireplace, 14-person communal table, and U-shaped bar invite guests to gather over food and drink from the hotel's chophouse, Chopps American Bar and Grill.

The Great Room offers amenities that allow guests to work or play on their own terms, including complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, plug-in charging stations, and media pod areas for casual meetings. In addition, a new "Market" gift shop offers items for guests on the go, including snacks and travel essentials.

Renovations to the hotel's events spaces included the introduction of three private meeting rooms, called Ignite, Inspire, and Imagine. The hotel's existing meeting spaces, including the adaptable 9,000-square-foot Celebrate Ballroom, benefitted from technological enhancements and revitalized design. The 419-room full service hotel now boasts 14,570 square feet of flexible meeting and banquet space.

Cardio and Free Weight Rooms

New flooring, wall coverings, and ceilings bring an energetic atmosphere to the hotel's two main workout spaces. New equipment was installed throughout the renovated space. In the Cardio Room, new Life Fitness stationary bicycles, treadmills, and elliptical machines are equipped with individual high-definition monitors that allow guests to access personalized workout regimens or enjoy their preferred television programming. New equipment in the remodeled Weigh Room-including Life Fitness weight machines, a kettle bell station, and a TRX Suspension Training station-accommodates a wide range of workout routines and fitness levels.

Pool and Sauna

As part of the final phase of renovations, the year-round indoor pool and sauna and seasonal outdoor pool areas were resurfaced and the pool flooring was re-tiled. New ceilings and freshly painted walls bring a bright new feel to the indoor pool and whirlpool sauna areas. A new deck area surrounds the heated outdoor pool, ready to welcome sunbathers and swimmers when the area opens for the season.

The hotel's multimillion dollar renovation commenced in July of 2013.
