Boston Marriott Long Wharf
Boston, Massachusetts, United States · Marriott · Accessible Luxury
Araldo Cossutta's 415-room Marriott opened in 1982 at the head of Long Wharf, Boston's oldest wharf, in warehouse-inspired brick overlooking the harbor beside Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park. Mayor Kevin White overrode the BRA's seven higher-ranked architects, a favor widely tied to financier Mortimer Zuckerman; the BRA executive director resigned. The bolted steel frame is engineered for earthquakes.
- 424 rooms
- Opened 1982
- Neighborhood: Waterfront
About Boston Marriott Long Wharf
- Completed during Boston's early-1980s hotel boom that the New York Times said would roughly double room supply by 1984.
- Design deliberately echoes the wharf warehouses the hotel replaced at the street end of Long Wharf.
- Sunstone Hotel Investors owns the property today.
- Cossutta and Associates' selection over BRA-preferred firms remains a case study in mayoral development politics.
- Sits just south of Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park with direct harbor frontage.
