Fairmont Hotels & Resorts to manage New Hotel in Boston

Fairmont Hotels & Resorts is to manage the new Fairmont Battery Wharf located on Boston’s vibrant waterfront, adjacent to the city’s historic North End. Fairmont Battery Wharf Boston is scheduled to open in December 2008, joining a collection of luxury hotels that includes The Plaza in New York, The Savoy (scheduled to reopen in 2009) in London, and the iconic Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City. With The Fairmont Copley Plaza, Fairmont Battery Wharf will become the brand’s second hotel in Boston.

The contemporary hotel will feature 150 guestrooms, including Fairmont Gold which features more personalized service with amenities such as private reception and a comfortable guest lounge. Guestrooms will be spacious with a large work area, marble baths and all of the technology features consistent with five-diamond standards. The décor will be residential in style and inspired by the property’s harbor side location.

Fairmont Battery Wharf will offer 6,000 square feet of meeting space, making it ideal for small corporate groups, as well and intimate social events. The property will also feature a restaurant, designed with guidance from three-star Michelin Chef Guy Martin, and lounge with harbor views and water taxi service to Boston Logan International Airport. Comprised of three buildings in a private enclave, Fairmont Battery Wharf will be an exclusive retreat for business and leisure travelers, as well as the local community.

“This is a great opportunity for Fairmont to operate Boston’s newest luxury waterfront hotel,” said Paul S. Tormey, Regional Vice President, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts, Northeast U.S. and Bermuda. “Fairmont Battery Wharf expands our presence in the Boston market and offers guests a sophisticated modern retreat taking full advantage of its waterfront location and close proximity to the North End.”
