Holiday Inn Boston/Woburn undergoes makeover
The Holiday Inn Boston/Woburn in Massachusetts, US is undergoing a multi-million dollar overhaul.
The hotel will be rebranded as Crowne Plaza Boston/Woburn following the facelift. The facility will refurbish 196 guest rooms including four luxury two bedroom suites, meeting area spanning 9000 square feet, and a sports bar and grille as part of the project.
The first phase of the project involved revamp of the Scoreboard Sports Bar & Grill restaurant of the hotel possessing a seat capacity of 260. The design of the restaurant interior has been conceived by Lynda Onthank, ASID, of Natick, Massachusetts' Onthank Designs. The restaurant, donning a Boston sports theme decoration, has now incorporated 40 HD televisions. The look has been complementyed by incorporation of bamboo flooring and bright shades to segregate the lounge, restaurant and dance floor.
The project's phase II will include renovation of the lobby area and exterior of the building. The redesigned meeting rooms and ballrooms will install advanced teleconferencing, sound, and audiovisual applications during the phase.
The redesigned guest rooms of the hotel sport boutique-style décor with padded headboards, luxury bedding, cherry console desks, and 42” flat screen TVs. The rooms now also feature walk-in showers comprising sliding glass doors. The sheers have now been substituted with draperies whereas hardwood flooring has taken the place of old carpeting. The Grand and Middlesex Ballrooms, along with meeting and lobby areas have been renovated with installation of new lighting fixtures, flooring, furniture pieces, and wall and window treatments.
The exterior façade of the building will be remodelled by Dean Temple of Shrewsbury-based dctDesigns. The designer has also renovated the porte cochere of the entryway, and is upgrading the hotel's guest rooms and lobby, in association with Onthank. The fourth storey of the building, featuring a concierge and multi-media lounge, will be dedicated to VIP guests post upgrades.
The entire project is scheduled to wrap up by September 2012.
