BOSTON
One of the most historic and distinctive hotels in Boston joined Curio - A Collection by Hilton and recently relaunched in downtown Boston. Ames Boston Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton is the first Boston hotel to operate as part of the hand-picked collection of distinctive properties.
Ames Boston Hotel is located in the iconic Ames Building, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is still widely referred to as Boston's "original skyscraper." Constructed in 1893, the 114-room boutique hotel—which has undergone a multimillion-dollar renovation—is conveniently situated near Boston’s busy Financial District, the Hynes Convention Center in Back Bay, the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center in the Seaport District and many public transit access points.
“Ames Boston Hotel is an iconic landmark in one of the world’s most dynamic cities, and perfectly represents Curio’s focus on offering travelers distinctive hotels that are imbued with local character and personality,” said Mark Nogal, global head, Curio – A Collection by Hilton. “With our first property in Boston, we look forward to providing leisure and business guests [with] unique experiences.”
The 15-story Ames Boston Hotel merges the past, present and future, offering a blend of modern style and old-world sophistication. The renovation preserved many original features, such as the lobby’s tiled mosaic arched ceiling and a marble staircase that runs from the first floor to the roof. Upon arrival, guests will enter into a renovated lobby space featuring new check-in stations and a casual seating area accented by warmly-toned wood shelving and trim pieces. Adjacent to the revamped entryway is a brand new Library Room boasting the same mid-century design scheme that begins in the lobby.
Each of its 114 modern guest rooms, including one-bedroom suites, bears an elegant, sleek and luxurious design that pays homage to the original 19th century appearance of the building.
For dining, Ames Boston Hotel offers an American Continental Breakfast served buffet-style in the property’s new Library Room located on the lobby level. Later this year, acclaimed Boston Chef Mary Dumont will open the doors to Cultivar, a restaurant serving modern American garden cuisine.
Ames Boston Hotel’s amenities will include a 24-hour fitness center and complimentary bicycles (seasonally) to ride through Boston’s bucolic parks in style. Also set to open in December is the hotel’s meeting and event space, which will accommodate gatherings of up to 75 people.
