Copley Square Hotel

Boston, MA Tishman Construction Corp. of Mass. (TCCMA) is serving as construction manager for the $14 million renovation of the Copley Sq. Hotel for its owner, CapStar Copley, LLC. The hotel, located in the Back Bay, is undergoing an upgrade of its 143 guestrooms and public spaces, including the addition of an elevator and modernization of its major engineering systems.

Originally opened in 1891, The Copley Sq. became one of Boston's most famous hotels, serving as host to President William McKinley, Babe Ruth, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, and Duke Ellington.

The renovations will transform this property into a four-star hotel, positioning it within Boston's growing boutique hospitality portfolio. Interior features will include new lobby décor, decorative silver light fixtures, candle niches, and metallic-sheen window treatments and redesigned guestrooms.

Additionally, the hotel's Back Bay Café will be re-launched as XHALE, a casual dining restaurant. Work started in January and is slated for completion this Summer.

The architect for the renovation is Arrowstreet, Inc. and Intra-Spec, Inc is the interior designer.
