Join the Revolution

A famous Maya Angelou quote says, People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

This holds true for hotel brands. The good ones make you feel something. They ignite the senses. Never has this been more true for me than when I stepped into the lobby of The Revolution Hotel in the very hip South End of Boston. I immediately felt that Boston feeling. 

As a Southerner who went on to spend a large part of my career living in Boston, I came to realize over time that the city has a real spirit about it. It only takes one visit to Fenway or a trip to the North End to start to feel it. Bostonians fiercely defend their city. Remember, they’ve been rebelling since the American Revolution in 1775. And now, every time I land at Logan Airport, I begin to feel that thing that makes Boston special.  

The Revolution Hotel is filled with that feeling. When you enter the lobby, a 65-foot masterwork in spray paint, by artist Tristan Eaton, wraps around the lobby’s interior. 

At every touchpoint, you’ll see a piece of Boston history. There are plenty of common spaces to work and just chill. And it’s in the trendy South End of Boston.  

They call themselves ‘a one of a kind urban hotel’. The Revolution is artsy and affordable yet reflects the history and rebellious attitude of the city. The website says they offer modern accommodations, in the best neighborhood, where every visit is an experience that leaves you inspired and ready to take on the world.   

So how did The Revolution Hotel make me feel?  I would say inspired. Part of something bigger than myself. Ready to take on my day.  And it definitely made me want to get out and see the neighborhood and historic sites. 

And while you are at it, check out their social media. They are all about local music, sports, and culture. It’s gritty and real.It’s Boston. 

When visiting Boston, I would recommend that you visit The Revolution Hotel if you want to catch a bit of that Boston Spirit.
