The Ames Hotel, just around the corner from City Hall, is fresh and new off a grand opening in November. As the child of the masterminds behind Rockwell and Morgans Hotel Groups, of Mondrian and Delano fame, the acclaimed modern, sophisticated design shines through at this New England hotspot.

The boutique property has just 114 rooms, but if you are looking to splurge, stay a night in The Apartment, the Ames’ take on a traditional Presidential Suite, which offers the ultimate in luxury- silk rugs, a velvet chaise and Egyptian cotton linens. While the Ames is a bit more traditional than its South Beach sister properties, it still mimics their style with a white-on-white décor.

Hollywood stars can almost always be found at a Morgans Hotel and the Ames and its on-site restaurant, Woodward, seek to be no exception, especially with the continuous filming going on around town. The Ames Hotel’s introductory rates are typically less than $200 per night, which just might be the best deal in town.
