VENUE

Westin Boston Waterfront
15/07/2006
The Westin Boston Waterfront opened its doors last week, adding 793 rooms to the developing South Boston waterfront.
The $204 million luxury property is the largest new hotel in the city in more than 20 years, and the only one directly connected to the new, 2.1 million-square-foot Boston Convention & Exhibition Center.
"Today, all eyes are on the South Boston Waterfront, and what is clearly becoming Boston's most vibrant neighborhood," says Mayor Thomas M. Menino. "Look around, there are new restaurants, residences and now another world class Westin hotel. This neighborhood is a 24-hour metropolitan destination."
The rooms and suites all feature the signature Westin Heavenly Bed and Westin Heavenly Bath, as well as oversized desks, high-speed wired and wireless Internet access and 32-inch flat-screen televisions.
The hotel also has 100,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, and 32,000 square feet of its own meeting space, including a 15,000-square-foot ballroom and 22 meeting rooms.
