Overview

With over 1,100 guestrooms and 360 room configurations in a Grand Dame building, Sunstone Hotels & Resorts completed a landmark renovation of rooms and public areas, with interior design by Parker Torres and the GS procurement team. The result is a return to grandeur for one of Boston’s most storied and central locations, and a part of the city’s heritage.

The Challenge

Three hundred and sixty distinct room configurations across more than 1,100 keys is a quantification and logistics challenge as much as a design one. Every configuration had to be counted, specified, and bought accurately, then delivered and installed through an occupied, landmark building without losing the thread on any room type.

The Design Team

Interior design for the guestrooms and public areas was led by Parker Torres, working alongside owner Sunstone Hotels & Resorts and the GS procurement team.

Our Scope

We handled the FF&E procurement for the rooms and public areas: quantifying 360 configurations, competitively bidding and purchasing the package, and managing value engineering to keep the renovation economical.

Expediting, warehousing, logistics, and installation were tracked across the full room count so that each of the many configurations arrived complete and correct.

The Outcome

One of Boston’s most storied and central hotels returned to grandeur, its guestrooms and public spaces renovated across the entire property while preserving its place in the city’s heritage.
