BOSTON > COME HOME TO BOSTON Trinity Church overlooks Copley Square in Boston’s popular Back Bay COME HOME TO BOSTON HISTORY OR ART; SPORTS, PARKS, OR CULTURE; BOSTON HAS IT ALL By Andrea Doyle t is a rare city that treasures the past, present, and future like precious gems. Boston, a historically important destination that is also refreshingly vibrant, does just that. This city is proud to be the cradle of American independence but is, at the same time, young and upbeat. Not content to rest on its laurels, Boston also has a great deal of development underway. I By the end of the year, $500 million in renovations will be complete on various hotels. Two new hotels, the 234-room W Boston Theatre District Hotel and Morgans Hotel Group’s 114-room Ames Hotel, will open in the next few months. Boston’s newest off-site reception venue, located next to Fenway Park, is the Boston House of Blues, the largest in the United States, which opened in February. Another off-site reception option will be the glass-enclosed Shapiro Courtyard in the Museum of Fine Arts, Americas Wing that opens next November.
