With it's signature flare for flamboyance, Morgans Hotel Group has transformed the Byzantine-Romanesque Ames building; originally built in 1893 as the headquarters of the Ames farm equipment empire; into a 114 room, 14 story boutique hotel gem- opening in November 2009. Located at the historic intersection of Court, State, and Washington Streets, Ames is just steps to the major office towers of Boston's Financial District, fabled Boston Harbor, historic Fanueil Hall Marketplace, posh row homes of Beacon Hill, glamourous nightlife and shopping, and Boston Common. With more than a cursory nod to history, Ames showcases striking original architectural elements such as mosaic tile ceilings, ornately detailed staircases, 12-14 foot guestroom ceilings, intricately carved white marble fireplaces, and dramatic windows- juxtaposed against clean modern finishes, uber sexy glass showers, mirrored chandeliers, and interpretive illusionary art installations. Appropriate to it's latter-day incarnation, Ames features leading-edge fitness and business centers, 46" LG plasma televisions, and (BOSE) audio equipment. The Ames building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

Business trip

The hotel was very convenient for my business trip. The hotel was nice, clean, but over priced for what you got. It was nice to have a restaurant in the hotel but the menu was limited and it was over crowed for dinner. you had to make a reservation 2 hours in advance. I asked for a 6:30 wake up call because the clock in the room was not an alarm clock. Never got the wake up call. I'm going back to Boston on Monday and have made reservations at a different hotel.

Quirky, fun and zingers

The room even with an upgrade was not very big. Having the shower close to the middle of the room is strange as well. I despise hotels that leave out a bottle of water then charge you $8 for it. Overall though the hotel experience was solid if unspectacular. Woodwards downstairs is an excellent place for lunch...the crab hash is excellent.

Check your hotel parking rates if you are bringing your car. Some hotels do not tell you how much it is unless you ask. Parking in general is ridiculous, especially valet parking.

Excellent Place to Enjoy Boston

We had a wonderful experience for a three night stay in Boston. The location is great for seeing many of the great sites of downtown Boston. It is also located right next to a subway station that allows easy access to the outskirts of town. Great service and GREAT ROOM!

Beautiful decor, outstanding location

When I walked into this hotel I knew I had made a good choice. Beautiful decor and the staff was very attentive and friendly. The room was clean and well appointed, getting some ideas on how I might redecorate my own place ;) The bar menu is great, very tasty cocktails and a beautiful patio to sit and people watch. The location of the hotel is in walking distance to most everything and if something was a bit out of walking distance the public transportation was so close. The only thing I could have asked for was complimentary wifi.

Modern, efficient, wonderful location

So central. Easy walks to historic sites, north end, Boston Common. Two central metro stops within one block walk. Quiet room with great view. Loved the historic building and efficient interior. Staff was very helpful. Comfortable bed and tasteful uncluttered room but lacking in a place to put your clothes. Did not appreciate the room refrigerator filled with items for sale and accompanying snack tray. We would have liked a bureau instead. Wifi should be included for free, given the room rate, and not an extra charge.

Great for business/couples/single

Excellent room with a view. True city style with business people in the building next door looking at us/us looking at them. Clean and modern decor. Free bicycles and helmets for a few hours for us to explore the city even more. Very friendly desk staff, concierge and door staff. Very small work out room.
