BURLINGTON, MASS. (January 9, 2015) – Boston Marriott Burlington is excited to announce the completion of an extensive 18-month, multi-million dollar renovation. Now open to guests, the project’s final phase brings major improvements to the hotel’s meeting space and function rooms as well as the fitness and pool areas which now boast state-of-the-art exercise equipment, design updates and improvements to the fitness areas and locker rooms, and upgrades to the hotel’s indoor and outdoor pool areas.

“After undergoing more than a year of significant updates, the Boston Marriott Burlington now emerges as a world-class hotel uniquely positioned to meet the needs of a growing number of business and leisure travelers visiting Burlington, a thriving economic hub,” says Pyramid Hotel Group Chief Operating Officer Jim Dina. “The newly updated fitness facilities and pool areas allow guests to continue their exercise routine on the road, a top priority for many people today.”

Highlights of the Boston Marriott Burlington’s renovations include:

Meeting and Greatroom Space

A key focal point of the renovation is the welcoming Greatroom-an innovative Marriott initiative that re-imagines the traditional lobby as a space for both millennial travelers and the local community. The Greatroom’s large fireplace, 14-person communal table, and large U-shaped bar invite guests to gather over food and drink from the hotel’s destination-worthy modern chophouse, Chopps American Bar and Grill.

Exemplifying best practices in service standards, the Greatroom offers amenities that allow guests to connect, collaborate, and work or play on their own terms, including complimentary high-speed wifi, plug-in charging stations, and state-of-the-art media pod areas for casual meetings. In addition, a new “Market” gift shop offers essentials for guests on the go, including snacks, travel essentials, and more.

Renovations to the hotel’s events spaces included the introduction of three cutting-edge private meeting rooms-called Ignite, Inspire, and Imagine. The hotel’s existing meeting spaces, including the adaptable 9,000 square foot Celebrate Ballroom, benefitted from technological enhancements and revitalized design. The 419-room full service hotel now boasts 14,570 square feet of flexible meeting and banquet space, further positioning the Boston Marriott Burlington as a premier destination for corporate and private of all kinds.

Cardio and Free Weight Rooms

New flooring, wall coverings, and ceilings bring an energetic atmosphere to the hotel’s two main workout spaces. Selected to meet the needs of even the most fitness-minded traveler, new equipment was installed throughout the renovated space. In the Cardio Room, new Life Fitness stationary bicycles, treadmills, and elliptical machines are equipped with individual high-definition monitors that allow guests to access personalized workout regimens or enjoy their preferred television programming. New equipment in the remodeled Weigh Room-including Life Fitness weight machines, a kettle bell station, and a TRX Suspension Training station-accommodates a wide range of workout routines and fitness levels.

Pool and Sauna

The Boston Marriott Burlington’s aquatic facilities are a major draw for business travelers and families alike. As part of the final phase of renovations, the year-round indoor pool and sauna and seasonal outdoor pool areas were resurfaced and the pool flooring was re-tiled. New ceilings and freshly painted walls bring a bright new feel to the indoor pool and whirlpool sauna areas. A new deck area surrounds the heated outdoor pool, ready to welcome sunbathers and swimmers when the area opens for the season.

Of the renovations, Boston Marriott Burlington General Manager Tim Brett says, “The Boston Marriott Burlington now has the ability to accommodate a wide range of corporate and private events. The newly updated meeting space can now accommodate the most cutting edge business presentation-a major draw for Burlington’s booming tech sector. In addition, our versatile private function rooms are ideal for celebrations of all kinds and sizes, from intimate gatherings to large weddings.

The hotel’s multi-million dollar renovation commenced in July of 2013 and includes many features that make the property a premier destination for visitors to Burlington and the greater Boston area. The final renovations concluded in December or 2014.
