BOSTON
The Ames Boston Hotel, a member of the Curio Collection by Hilton and of the Gemstone Collection by Benchmark, a global hospitality company, announced the completion of a $6 million renovation project.
The redesign of the hotel’s public spaces, including the lobby, The Library, Ames and Oliver & Oakes rooms, and Cultivar restaurant, were spearheaded by New York City-based Glen and Co. Architecture.
The revitalized 15-story, 114-room Ames Boston Hotel, which was recently named to Conde Nast Traveler’s regarded 2017 Gold List, is said to offer a blend of modern style and old-world sophistication.
The renovation preserved many original features, including the lobby’s tiled mosaic arched ceiling and a marble staircase that runs from the first floor to the roof. Upon arrival, guests now enter into a renovated lobby featuring check-in stations and a casual seating area. Adjacent to the revamped entryway is The Library, which shows off the same mid-century design scheme that begins in the lobby, and serves as communal workspace for guests by featuring a variety of seating arrangements that are ideally suited for solo travelers looking to unwind, and small groups seeking informal meeting space.
“I’m thrilled to announce that Ames Boston Hotel’s $6 million renovation is now complete and that the property has been reinvigorated as a destination for local Bostonians and travelers alike,” said Trish Berry, general manager of the Ames Boston Hotel. “The recent transformation of Boston’s architectural icon has resulted in dedicated, state-of-the-art event space, an incredible new on-site restaurant by acclaimed Chef Mary Dumont, a welcoming new lobby, and a ... shared work space, The Library.”
With the completion of the Ames and Oliver & Oakes meeting rooms and their pre-function vestibule, all located on the second floor, Ames Boston Hotel now offers 1,700 square feet of new private event space that serves as a customizable setting for intimate get-togethers, and is well-suited for banquets and conferences, along with lounge, classroom, and theater-style meetings and presentations.
Additionally, the rooms can serve as elegant, functional spaces for groups of up to 125 people.
Earlier this month, Chef Mary Dumont opened Cultivar at Ames Boston Hotel, offering sustainable cuisine inspired by the local landscape, and informed by an on-site proprietary hydroponic garden.
