Hotel Commonwealth, located in Boston's Kenmore Square, has completed a $50 million expansion and renovation, nearly doubling its size with the addition of a new wing, it announced yesterday.
The new wing -- which connects to the main hotel via enclosed footbridge, and has its own entrance for event guests -- overlooks Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, and features 96 new guest rooms and suites, not to mention a Red Sox-themed suite and 6,000 square feet of additional meeting and event space, including a 3,200-square-foot grand ballroom for up to 250 guests and a 1,500-square-foot outdoor terrace.
During previous stages of its renovation, the hotel overhauled its existing lobby, guest rooms and meeting space. Its offerings now include a total of 149 guest rooms and 10,000 square feet of meeting space.
"Twelve years ago Hotel Commonwealth spurred a revival of the Kenmore Square area, and we are excited to see the neighborhood continue to evolve," said Adam Sperling, general manager of Hotel Commonwealth. "The new wing and recent renovation reflect the dynamic neighborhood and we are thrilled to showcase our exciting new transformation to guests and locals."
