ROCKVILLE, MD—The enVision Hotel Boston-Everett, a member of the Ascend Hotel Collection from Choice Hotels International Inc., has opened in Everett, MA. It is the first hotel to open in the city in more than seven decades.
The hotel completed a renovation from former shoe and garment factory to a design-forward boutique hotel. This is the third property by the enVision Hotel Management Company to join the Ascend Hotel Collection. The other locations include Boston’s Longwood neighborhood and St. Paul, MN.
“The Ascend Hotel Collection is a portfolio of upscale, one-of-a-kind hotels and resorts. These properties have local charm and are deeply entrenched in their communities. By joining the Ascend Hotel Collection, they maintain all their uniqueness, and gain global hospitality expertise, reach and support from Choice Hotels,” said Janis Cannon, SVP of upscale brands for Choice Hotels. “We are so pleased the enVision Hotel Management Company has achieved so much success with Ascend and are proud to see this third hotel open.”
The 101-room, vintage-inspired hotel has design details that harkens back to the past. The lobby displays a desk made of restored vintage steamer trunks, antique sewing machines and a large scrabble board—a signature element found at all the enVision properties. The hotel also features a meeting room and a cafe called Against the Grain Bistro which offers light breakfast, lunch and dinner fare, as well as an espresso bar, wine and beer.
“The support we’ve received from Choice Hotels and the Ascend Hotel Collection has been the driving factor behind our properties’ success and has enabled us to expand the enVision experience for a third time,” said Gautam Sharma, president of Global Vision Hotels. “Our hotels are designed to give upscale travelers a vintage taste of the local surroundings, while enjoying modern amenities.
