PRESS RELEASE
Located in the heart of Boston’s vibrant Theater District, Moxy Boston Downtown today officially opened its doors, offering a backstage pass to a high-energy hotel experience. Part of Marriott International’s experiential Moxy brand, Moxy Boston Downtown is filled with stylish nods to the Theater District and offers buzzing social spaces, spirited beverage & food offerings and distinct amenities for guests and locals alike.
Ideally situated at the corner of Stuart and Tremont Streets, Moxy Boston Downtown is steps from Back Bay and Chinatown. Engaging from the moment visitors cross the threshold, guests are immediately greeted by the hotel’s food truck-inspired photo booth and tunes streaming from indie617, Boston’s indie rock radio station, which broadcasts its morning show live from Moxy Boston Downtown each day.
Guests can either choose mobile check-in upon arrival to the hotel, or can check in at Moxy Boston Downtown’s second-floor lobby, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows looking out over the Theater District. Inviting guests to unleash their playful side from the start, the hotel welcomes visitors with the “Got Moxy” cocktail, featuring Bacardi Dragonberry rum, black cherry puree, and fresh lime. From there, guests can pick up a game of oversized Jenga or Cards Against Humanity while sipping a cocktail at Bar Moxy, or head upstairs to The Mezz, Moxy Boston Downtown’s 24th-floor rooftop lounge, to be dazzled by views of Boston and Cambridge as far as the eye can see.
“With the opening of this property, it’s exciting to bring the Moxy Hotels brand to Boston for the first time – a destination filled with major historic sights, sporting events, musical venues, and so much more,” said Toni Stoeckl, Global Brand Leader, Moxy Hotels, and Vice President, Distinctive Select Brands, Marriott International. “Moxy Boston Downtown is at the center of it all so guests can enjoy everything the city has to offer.”
“We’re thrilled to be the first Moxy hotel in Boston, and to show this city just how invigorating and fun a hotel stay really can be,” stated Moxy Boston Downtown Captain Dustin Kovats. “Different from anything else in this area, Moxy Boston Downtown is locally inspired and uniquely Boston. Situated in the center of the action in the vibrant Theater District, with special amenities like free Broadway HD, our late-night “Curtain Call” menu and on-demand beauty services offered by Glamsquad, Moxy Boston Downtown is truly our guests’ backstage pass to Boston.”
Theater-Inspired Décor
Designed by Boston’s Group One, Moxy Boston Downtown’s industrial chic design pays homage to the surrounding Theater District. Within an envelope of raw concrete, neon lights, and warm oak plank walls, the hotel design captures the grit and rawness of a theater’s backstage, while infusing it with a bold, energetic attitude. Instagrammable spots and selfie walls abound around every turn, including Moxy Boston Downtown’s colorful tree and wing murals, and other custom artwork by street artist Victor “Marka27” Quinonez, along with a custom ceiling light installation inspired by theatrical stage rigging at the hotel’s entrance. Peekaboo sidewalk window displays showcasing costumed mannequins, catwalks filled with vintage theater decor, stage lighting, neon signs, and pops of Moxy pink throughout give the hotel a spirit that is both vibrant and dramatic.
High-Tech Touches
All of the 340 tech-savvy, modern guest rooms at Moxy Boston Downtown feature a queen bed with floor-to-ceiling windows for spectacular city views. Guests looking to be wowed can reserve one of the “Wicked Awesome View” corner rooms, which offer panoramic city views from two sides.
