The AmesHotel (1 Court Street; 617-979-8100; ameshotel.com) openedlast November as part of theMorgansHotelGroup, andhas 114 minimalistrooms, afitnesscenter and trendy décor.
Dreaded by many neighbors because of its out-of-scale height (25 stories) but anxiously-awaited by insatiable luxury-hotel fans, the glimmering glass Mondrian Soho tower opened to the public Tuesday, and I popped in yesterday to see how it measured up both to downtown fears and to other fanciful properties of the MorgansHotelGroup, otherwise known as the original chic-boutique hoteliers.
The plan, which is supported by Morgans's board, calls for transferring to Yucaipa the Delano South Beach hotel and the company's Light Group food and beverage subsidiary.
