Historic architecture with a modern, minimalist spirit
History buffs appreciate both the location and original architecture of the AMES/A MORGANS ORIGINAL in the Byzantine-Romanesque Ames building. Built in 1893 as headquarters for the Ames farm equipment empire, the boutique hotel showcases mosaic tile ceilings, ornate staircases, carved marble fireplaces and dramatic arched windows. Designer David Rockwell added clean modern finishes and eye-catching decor. Now on the National Register of Historic Places, the hotel neighbors Faneuil Hall, Beacon Hill, Quincy Market, Boston Common and Boston Harbor.Ames A Morgans Original Rooms

Scattered details nod to the 19th century aesthetic of the original building such as the custom designed desk, a modern interpretation of Federal style, and the table lamp, while modern and sophisticated amenities give guests the utmost comfort, such as the white marble, walk-in shower with a luxurious rain showerhead and hand-held shower features.

That was a fantastic stay!
The hotel itself doesn't have a big sign of hotel name, So it might be a difficult to find the hotel first. It locates at the center of downtown in Boston, and there are many nice restaurants within walking distance. I got a room on 15th floor, which is highest in the hotel although I could not see view outside. The room was eally modern looking and got a impression of a designers hotel. There was bar/ club (with music) on the first floor so you can drink and dance there:) however, u gotta be aware that water bottle on the table is not free. I realize that bottle had a tinyass sign says $8 dollar after that I took a sip of that water. Lol Overall, the room was super nice and comfortable to stay over two nights. Especially their pillows were so comfy and I was so excited to laying down <3 I'll definitely come back to their hotel for next time if I come by Boston. Recommend!!!!:D

Business trip
The hotel was very convenient for my business trip. The hotel was nice, clean, but over priced for what you got. It was nice to have a restaurant in the hotel but the menu was limited and it was over crowed for dinner. you had to make a reservation 2 hours in advance. I asked for a 6:30 wake up call because the clock in the room was not an alarm clock. Never got the wake up call. I'm going back to Boston on Monday and have made reservations at a different hotel.

Great Location, price and hotel!
This was a clean and quiet hotel. The staff was super nice and very helpful. Bathrooms are a bit dark, but there is a great makeup light that helped. Centrally located next to the subway stops and bus transportation. Shopping and restaurants all with in walking distance. I would stay there again in a heart beat! Highly recommend.

Bricco's Italian restaurant on Hamilton was fantastic. Short walk to some long walk for others, just follow the freedom trail to the north end.

Excellent stay for downtown Boston
Old charm meets modern decor at this hotel. totally rennovated, stylish rooms. Great for business traveler wanting access to downtown boston. Attention to detail and customer service were superb. VERY helpful staff, very professional. Reminds me of the 'W' but the staff is superior. It is a bit tricky to find at first - but if you tell the cab driver is is across from the old city hall you're there! Would definately come back again.
