The Revolution Hotel at 40 Berkeley Street is inspired by the uniquely rebellious, innovative spirit, attitude and ethos of t ... he people of Boston, this radically new 164-room hospitality experience will be a nexus of community within the city’s South End. An adaptive reuse of one of the first YWCA’s in America, The Revolution Hotel is being developed within a Mid-Century Modern building at the intersection of Berkeley and Appleton Streets. The hotel’s design and attitude are informed by the building’s original use as a place dedicated to the empowerment of women through shelter, education, fitness and skill training. Hotel offerings, experiences, art, installations and activations will reflect Boston’s rich history of notable innovations, rebellious individuals and revolutionary events in areas ranging from human rights and liberties to science, business and culture. “We will be providing an experience for those visiting Boston that will tell a story that weaves together not only the city’s past but also our present and future as a force pushing the nation and the world forward,” says Bruce A. Percelay, FOUNDER & CEO of the Mount Vernon Company. “Our passion is creating authentic, truly inspired hotels and our independent streak is one of our defining characteristics so, this project is a perfect fit for us,” said Bashar Wali, President of Provenance Hotels.” He went on to say, “There is no city the world like Boston and no people so rightly proud of their community. We look forward to helping to bring The Revolution Hotel to life to celebrate that spirit.” read more
