PROCON refreshes Renaissance Patriot Hotel concierge space

Renaissance Inn Gillette Stadium Foxboro Renaissance Inn Gillette Stadium Foxboro
Foxborough, MA The Renaissance Boston-Patriot Place Hotel by Marriott unveiled its newly renovated concierge space. The 138,000 s/f hotel opened in 2009 and is adjacent to Gillette Stadium - home to the New England Patriots. PROCON was the original design-build firm and completed the recent refurbishments. XSS Hotels owns the property, which anchors the stores, restaurants, and entertainment venues at Patriot Place. Several first floor enhancements were implemented at the Renaissance. A relocated and redesigned concierge (Club) area was moved from the fifth floor down to the first floor.  It features fresh, sophisticated charcoal grays and dark earthy tones that blend seamlessly with the overall hotel decor. The first floor also received two new meeting rooms across from the indoor pool. The Stadium Room seats up to 20 people and the Club Board Room seats up to eight people, and both are available by reservation for private meetings. Two additional king guest rooms were added to the fifth floor; one with choice views of Gillette Stadium and the practice facility through its two corner windows. The Renaissance offers numerous amenities, such as multi-purpose lobby spaces for relaxation, socializing and entertainment, and distinctive room designs and services. The hotel’s 98-seat restaurant and lounge, Twenty8 features a signature 60-foot bar & stone hearth oven and a private dining room. The elegant Patriot Ballroom is available for functions and partitions into two smaller rooms as needed. Additionally, the hotel provides an enclosed business space, fitness center, and an indoor pool. Colwen Hotels manages the establishment and their staff curates every moment of a guest’s stay for a memorable experience. Millions of travelers annually visit the Patriot Place shopping/entertainment hub and Gillette Stadium. The location of the Renaissance Patriot Place Hotel has ensured it consistently sold out since its opening. The Renaissance is soon to be joined by a second hotel currently underway at Patriot Place, and also designed and built by PROCON. The 136-key Foxborough Hilton Garden Inn will offer visitors to the area an additional upscale option for their overnight accommodations. The five-story hotel will be open to guests in the fall of 2016.
