The property includes 203 spacious guest rooms and suites, including refrigerators, coffee makers, high definition TVs, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi and work desks.

While the hotel has a contemporary look, traditional New England character and historical touches reflect the building’s heritage as the home of eyeglass manufacturer American Optical Company for 160 years. The interior of the hotel features grand, contemporary spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a courtyard with a fire pit that is bordered by the lobby, restaurant and lounge. In addition to the meeting space, the Focus Fitness Center and indoor pool area continue the expansive theme with amenities ranging from a hot tub and sauna to racquetball and basketball courts.
