Eurostars Hotels Company, the hotel division of Grupo Hotusa, acquired The Boxer Boston, an 80-key restored historic hotel located in Boston's West End neighborhood in a deal arranged by JLL's Hotels & Hospitality Group. JLL represented the seller, Hersha Hotels & Resorts, in the transaction.
Originally constructed in 1904, The Boxer Boston occupies a nine-story building that underwent a comprehensive million-dollar renovation in 2013 when it was relaunched as The Boxer. The ownership completed additional restaurant and lobby refreshes in 2019-2020.
The full-service hotel has 80 thoughtfully designed guestrooms with Boston-inspired decor combining industrial-chic elements such as riveted-steel wardrobes and gaslamp-inspired lighting with modern touches such as Calacatta-marble bathroom countertops. Guest amenities include a fitness center, complimentary bicycles and the on-site restaurant and bar, Bulfinch Social, which offers breakfast and dinner daily.
The Boxer Boston is near TD Garden, the Charles River Esplanade and numerous entertainment venues and attractions. The hotel is steps away from One Congress, one of Boston's newest and most iconic office spaces, and just blocks from North Station, a major transportation hub. Massachusetts General Hospital's main campus in the West End is also nearby.
With this acquisition, The Boxer will become the fifth hotel operated by Eurostars Hotels Company in the United States, further reinforcing the group’s international growth strategy and its plans to expand its footprint in the North American market in the coming months.
According to Amancio López Seijas, President of Grupo Hotusa and Eurostars Hotels Company, “the addition of Eurostars’ The Boxer is part of the company’s expansion policy, strengthening its presence in strategic locations to promote quality urban tourism.”
The JLL Hotels & Hospitality team representing the seller was led by Managing Director Alan Suzuki, Senior Director Matthew Enright and Associate Emily Zhang.
"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."
