The Ames Boston Hotel is centrally located at 1 Court Street in Boston’s thriving Financial District along Boston’s renowned Freedom Trail and steps from the Old State House and Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market.
Originally built in 1893, the Ames Boston Hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was redeveloped into a luxury hotel in 2009.
The JLL Capital Markets team representing the seller was led by Managing Director Denny Meikleham, Senior Director Alan Suzuki and Director Matthew Enright. Ted Wheatley and Robert Webster of JLL represented the buyer in the transaction.

“This was an extremely rare opportunity for a buyer to acquire a historically significant asset in this prime location,” Suzuki said. “Interest level was very strong from both international and domestic hotel and non-hotel investors.
"We are happy that one of Boston’s premier luxury hotels will now be incorporated into the long-term strategic plans and initiatives of both Suffolk University and the City of Boston for providing more on-campus student housing opportunities for the thousands of students who live in Boston.”
