Minutes from Faneuil Hall in the heart of the Financial District, the landmark Ames Boston Hotel is among America’s most distinctive structures.
Completed in 1893, this Romanesque-Byzantine sandstone treasure was Boston’s first skyscraper. Constructed from nine-foot thick masonry walls, it remains the tallest pre-steel building in the U.S.
Converted into a hotel in 2009, this 114-room European-style charmer is a Hilton Curio property and part of Benchmark Hospitality’s Gemstone Collection.
Completed in 2017, a $6 million renovation revamped the lobby and created the adjacent Library as the breakfast area and communal daytime workspace.
The tiled mosaic arched ceiling creates a grand sense of arrival, furthered by the marble staircase leading to the second-floor Ames and Oliver & Oakes meeting rooms.

Inspiring views of the Old State House and glass skyscrapers, a working fireplace and advanced A/V technology make the combined 2,000-square-foot contemporary space a premier address for meetings and social events.
All rooms offer dynamic appointments with luxury, including the expansive Apartment Suite.
Ties to history include the Bobby Orr Suite.
