Ames Boston Hotel opens 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
innovative Seaport District, and many public transit access points,
including “T” stations at Haymarket, State Street, and Government
Center. Additionally, Ames Boston Hotel abuts many of the city’s
beloved landmarks and old-world neighborhoods, including the Old
State House, Faneuil Hall and Beacon Hill.
“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 the unique
experience they seek from Curio when visiting spectacular
destinations around the globe.”
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 sleek 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
eye-catching, mid-century design scheme that begins in the lobby,
which serves as communal workspace for guests and features a
variety of comfortable seating arrangements that are ideally suited
for solo travelers looking to unwind and small groups seeking
informal meeting space.
“Ames Boston Hotel blends modern style and old-world
sophistication, a unique style enhanced by joining Hilton’s Curio
collection,” said Trish Berry, general manager, Ames Boston Hotel,
Curio Collection by Hilton. “We are delighted to offer guests this
perfect combination of age-old Boston charm with
globally-recognized service and amenities.”
Guest Rooms and Suites: Stylish Luxury
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.
- The suites are accented by dramatic,
Romanesque arched windows and decorative fireplaces complemented by
inventive design interpretations.
- Grand windows usher in ambient natural
light, while high ceilings, light oak hardwood floors and modern
décor balance sophistication and comfort.
- Other features include oversized
closets and ergonomic workspace and an elegantly designed bathroom
with white marble rain shower, stainless steel fixtures and
illuminated vanity mirrors.
On-Site Dining: Breakfast Served in New Library Room,
Cultivar by Acclaimed Chef Mary Dumont to Open
Ames Boston Hotel offers guests a delicious American Continental
Breakfast served buffet-style in the property’s new Library Room
located on the lobby level, consisting of freshly prepared hot
items like assorted breakfast sandwiches and meats, as well an
assortment of seasonal fruits, pastries, cereals, coffees, teas and
fresh juices. Later this year, acclaimed Boston Chef Mary Dumont
will open the doors to Cultivar, a highly-anticipated,
unique dining concept that will serve modern American garden
cuisine to local Bostonians and guests alike.
