Overview

Historic building with designer interiors
Some guests complain of thin walls
Boasting high-end luxury and an urban locale, the Ames Boston Hotel beckons to the modern art lover. Painted all white and splashed with subtle yet colorful accents, the Ames earns high praise for its beautiful design. The hotel's enviable access to Faneuil Hall and the Freedom Trail also makes it an attractive choice for tourists. While most recent guests rave about the property's understated accommodations – appointed with crisp duvets, luxe bathrobes, complimentary Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and iPod docking stations – others lament the high price for parking. Still, most cite the courteous hotel staff as a reason to return.

It’s an unusual place, with an uber-traditional Richardsonian Romanesque exterior and a stripped-down interior that contrasts invitingly with the comfy-cozy beds.

Rockwell is known as an ultra-modern designer, but he's had some fun with history here: the bedside lighting riffs on whale-oil lamps of yore, and mirrors facing the elevators make use of an old theater trick to conjure the spooky illusion of a chandelier.
