Renovations on Tap
Hotel AKA Back Bay
AKA Back Bay partnered with renowned architectural design firm Selldorf Architects to oversee the transformation of its first Boston hotel, now offering a serene and elegant atmosphere. Rich in history—the building was once the Boston Police Dept. headquarters—the property offers premium accommodations and unique nuances of Back Bay’s cosmopolitan culture. Select floors were fully redefined, and others were outfitted with furnishings designed by Annabelle Selldorf. Entry canopies, ground floor exterior courtyards lobby, elevators and all main floor public areas were completely re-envisioned.
Copley Square Hotel
Hue, a glamorous new restaurant, cocktail and entertainment venue recently launched in the newly renovated Copley Square Hotel during the first week of December, bringing fine dining and nightlife experiences to Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood. The name Hue comes from the spot’s location on Huntington Avenue and Exeter Street area. Both the restaurant space and hotel are iconic, dating back to the ’40s when the location used to be a jazz bar.
Sheraton Boston
The Sheraton Boston is undergoing extensive renovations to enhance guest experiences across multiple areas of the hotel, including the modernization of guest rooms, the lobby area, food & beverage services, and recreational facilities.
The lobby renovation was completed in late fall, and the guest room renovation—transforming rooms into modern, comfortable retreats—at the end of the year.
