The Boxer, Boston’s newest boutique hotel, is now open in the city’s West End neighborhood.  Following a multi-million-dollar renovation, the former Bullfinch Hotel features a modern eclectic design in an iconic Flatiron building.

Hersha Hospitality Trust acquired the 80-room hotel n May 2012, previously named the Bulfinch Hotel. The Boxer joins the Independent Collection, a growing portfolio of boutique hotels inspired by authentic neighborhoods, local heritage and indigenous travel experiences.

The Boxer name symbolizes the independent spirit of individuals who stand strong for their beliefs, reflecting the essence of Boston as a proud city with an unshakeable sense of itself and its significance in history.

“We purchased the hotel with the vision to transform the property,” said Neil H. Shah, president and COO, Hersha Hospitality. “The Boxer is surrounded by the culturally rich neighborhoods of Beacon Hill and the North End … with unbeatable proximity to the TD Garden.”

The Boxer occupies Boston’s circa 1904 Flatiron Building on the western edge of the Bulfinch Triangle. J. Brice Design of Boston reimagined the property with an industrial chic aesthetic, weaving in elements of the hotel’s decidedly New England roots.  An 1860s archived map of Boston spans the entire lobby ceiling while a vintage hotel key rack with antique style gold keys greets guests checking in at the front desk.
