Boston Marriott Newton
Newton, Massachusetts, United States · Marriott · Near Luxury
Marriott broke ground here in 1967 on the former Norumbega Park amusement grounds, promising the largest motel in New England at the meeting of Route 30, Route 128, and the Turnpike. The present 430-room hotel still looks over the Charles, and a 2017 renovation threaded the lost park back into the rooms with river colors, wave patterns, and birdcage-shaped nightstands. The bi-level Presidential Suite turns the whole story toward floor-to-ceiling water views.

History
Marriott broke ground on May 23, 1967 for a motor hotel on the former Norumbega Park amusement grounds in Auburndale. The hotel opened in 1969 and retained much of its original structure through a major 2017 interior renovation, which drew its colors and patterns from the Charles River and the vanished park.
The setting
The hotel stands at 2345 Commonwealth Avenue in Newton's Auburndale village, overlooking the Charles River near the junction of Route 30, Route 128, and the Massachusetts Turnpike. It occupies part of the former Norumbega Park site.
