The Ames is located in a lovely, preserved, historic "skyscraper" from long ago in the perfect location (easy access from the Airport on the Blue Line). The Ames has managed a perfect blend of respect for history and while embracing all that is hip. The rooms are small (as is expected in a major city urban hotel) but thoughtfully laid out and thus don't feel cramped. There is enough room to do a little work or hang out without feeling claustrophobic. Beautiful linens, nice bath amenities - in short a lot of attention to detail that results in a room that is comfortable and chic. Don't miss the restaurant at Ames - Woodward, especially for excellent cocktails. (make sure you ask how it got its name. We were very entertained by a waiter during a quiet perior with the historic scandal!) I am so comfortable with the level of service that I often put clients there. Everyone I have sent there has loved the place. This is my new favorite Boston hotel.
