Project Overview:

The AC Hotel by Marriott in Boston's South End was completed in 2017, replacing the former low-slung brick buildings that housed the offices of Independent Taxi and F.W. Webb. This boutique hotel features a striking wavy metal facade and a transparent lobby that invites guests into its contemporary space. Nestled next to the Ink Block development, it not only provides a stylish stay but also sits at the heart of a bustling community, complete with extensive retail options and the city's largest Whole Foods. This hotel stands as a modern landmark where once stood the simpler structures of a bygone industrial era.
