The Ames Hotel Boston is Almost There

The Ames Hotel from the Morgans Hotel Group was initially expected to open this month but according to the website's reservations system, guests cannot book a room until November 19th. Rooms will start at $299 for a standard room but HotelChatter got a glimpse at some of the construction last night and we wouldn't be surprised if this opening date got pushed back a little further.

The hotel is going up inside the historic Ames building which is rather stately and grand in its appearance but working within old buildings tends to delay hotel opening dates quite a bit. And we just can't imagine how they will finish everything up in time.

But whenever the 113-room hotel opens it should give the Boston hotel scene a bit of New York cool with its Woodward restaurant and bar from executive chef Mark Goldberg. The restaurant will serve regional fare and most importantly, promises a "dynamic beverage menu." (We always appreciate a hotel that understands how much we like to drink.)

And yes, the building is located next to the New England Center for Homeless Vets but if hotels like The Ace and The Jane in Manhattan can become hot spots with SRO tenants living inside, we don't think the Ames has anything to worry about. That is, unless the neighbors complain.
