The Millennium Bostonian Hotel in historic downtown Boston has put the finishing touches on its $25 million renovation. The opening of North 26 Restaurant and Bar, a progressive New England dining concept, caps off the hotel's transformation, bringing high quality and stylish additions to all guest rooms and public areas.

New and returning guests have much to anticipate at the newly-renovated Millennium Bostonian Hotel. Designers Jinnie Kim Design of Boston (who handled guest rooms, public areas and exterior) and CCS Architecture of New York (the new restaurant and bar) took inspiration from local and regional influences to create a timeless concept.

"The renovation of Millennium Bostonian Hotel creates a striking addition to the Millennium portfolio in North America, and we look forward to welcoming guests to one of the city's most desirable addresses," said Dominique Marty, General Manager of Millennium Bostonian Hotel.

A floating bar of Calcatta Marble and American black walnut is positioned in the foreground of the restaurant, with a 12-foot-high, 840-bottle wine rack behind created from an edge-lit glass. A softly lit, gently curving passage leads to the dining area, teeming with custom wraparound booths and banquettes, custom oversized linen pendant lights, a floating steel-and-canvas canopy, and American black walnut paneling running from the floor to the 18-foot-high-ceiling. Abstract paintings by nationally-recognized artist Rob Douglas adorn the walls and add to the sophisticated but comfortable feel of the restaurant.
