Ames Hotel

A Boston landmark since 1893, the Ames Building now houses a namesake destination for small meetings and events, the 114-room Ames Hotel. A member of Morgans Hotel Group—that includes the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas and Mondrian in Los Angeles—the Ames provides attendees with both a chic contemporary style and the convenience of a location near the city's famed Faneuil Hall and Beacon Hill.

Each of the accommodations feature wireless Internet, a high-definition flat-screen television, marble shower, and down bedding. For a C-level setting, the ninth-floor Apartment includes a separate living room with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, dining room, and a bedroom with master bathroom and powder room. And while the meeting venue seats 50 reception style, the hotel's sophisticated fine dining fixture, Woodward, often facilitates more one-on-one discussions.
