The Ames Boston will join Hilton Worldwide’s Curio collection
next month.
The 114-room hotel is undergoing
a multimillion-dollar renovation to its rooms, lobby and on-site restaurant
during the next few months. The hotel is managed by Gemstone Hotels &
Resorts.
Located near the Freedom
Trail and about two blocks from Faneuil Hall, the property was built in 1893
