Historic Boston Hotel Becomes Eurostars’ Fifth U.S. Property

JLL’s Hotels & Hospitality Group arranged the sale of The Boxer Boston, an 80-key restored historic hotel located at 107 Merrimac St. in Boston’s West End, to Eurostars Hotels Company for an undisclosed sum. Managing director Alan Suzuki, senior director Matthew Enright and associate Emily Zhang represented the seller, Hersha Hotels & Resorts.

Originally constructed in 1904, the property underwent a comprehensive million-dollar renovation in 2013 when it was relaunched as The Boxer. Ownership completed additional restaurant and lobby refreshes in 2019-2020.

“The Boxer’s prime location at the crossroads of Boston’s West End, North End and Downtown districts, combined with its strong cash flow and being offered unencumbered by brand and management, made this an exceptionally attractive investment,” said Suzuki. “Boston continues to demonstrate resilient lodging fundamentals driven by its diverse demand generators, including world-class educational institutions, medical facilities, corporate presence and convention and leisure attractions.”

With this acquisition, The Boxer will become the fifth hotel operated by Eurostars in the U.S.
