The historic Ames Boston Hotel is proud to announce that they have received the coveted “Conversion of the Year” award from Hilton. As a member of the Curio Collection by Hilton and of Gemstone Collection by BENCHMARK, the hotel is always working towards taking its service to the next level.
“Receiving the “Conversion of the Year” award on the heels of a major renovation that’s been warmly welcomed by travelers and local Bostonians alike, is a true honor,” said Jeff McIntyre, president of Benchmark. “As the first Curio Collection hotel in the city, we’ve been able to provide our guests with an upscale, unique experience that feels distinctly Boston and creates memories that independent-minded travelers seeking the authentic Curio experience expect. We would also like to acknowledge the hotel’s management team, Invesco Real Estate, the Gencom Group, and my associates at BENCHMARK, a global hospitality company, who all deserve to have their hard work and dedication in bringing our collective vision for the property to life, properly recognized.”
The recognition comes on the heels of a $6 million renovation that the 15-story Ames Boston Hotel completed earlier this year. The lobby kept its iconic tiled mosaic arched ceiling preserved while featuring all new hotel public spaces and The Library, which will now serves as guests communal workspace. The new Ames and Oliver & Oakes meeting rooms and their pre-function vestibule, Ames Boston Hotel will not provide 1,700 square feet of state of the art private event space for guests.
