Re: Convention center hotel
A bit of a seaport snoozefest, but as mentioned above, bringing 1000 hotel rooms into the mix at the seaport, near the convention centers, will be a great thing.

Re: Convention center hotel
To me this project implies that the Parker House has been so absolutely crushing it in convention bookings, for so long, that the corporate HQ basically said, "we can cannibalize ourselves at the Parker House and still come out ahead in the aggregate, with new synergies between the Parker House and the new hotel we'll put up in Seaport." Or is that a misreading?

Downtown Boston (I.e. Historic) and the Seaport neighborhoods are distinct enough markets that I don't foresee why they'd be worried about the other hurting business. Westin has Copley and Seaport. Four Seasons is opening their second hotel in a couple years. There is precedent for 2 or more hotels of the same brand in the city. |
Re: Omni Hotel @ BCEC | Summer St | Seaport
Note the article says the project is being built without subsidies. So much for the naysayers on this site who say convention-headquarter hotels always need subsidies. Get the government out of the way and let the private market operate.

Re: Omni Hotel @ BCEC | Summer St | Seaport
Would someone, somewhere build an interesting design. These materials, palettes and proportions are so tired in this city at this point. Its like they pull a lever at a parlor game and it mixes and matches the same 5 tired designs in different arrangements

Re: Omni Hotel @ BCEC | Summer St | Seaport
Is the rail line severed in that plan, or just an oversight?

I personally like this. Great location, great street level, architecture looks fine for what it is. Its inoffensive and that brickwork/precast could turn out very well. That contrasted against the glass will at least look good, it wont be world breaking, but itll look good.

Re: Omni Hotel @ BCEC | Summer St | Seaport
Too bad they cant work the dmu station into the design/requirement.

Re: Omni Hotel @ BCEC | Summer St | Seaport
Hard to complain about a massive hotel development. It should help brings lots of people into the nightlife fold for that part of the city.
