The Dagny Boston has officially opened its doors to welcome guests and locals alike. Originally known as the Batterymarch Building, this Art Deco icon rose to prominence in 1928 as the city’s first skyscraper. As the city’s latest independent hotel, The Dagny Boston marks the launch of a new era for the location where Downtown Boston and the Financial District converge.
Designed by artist and architect Harold Field Kellogg, the Batterymarch Building’s exterior was designated in 1995 by the Boston Landmarks Commission to be preserved because of its design and contribution to Boston’s architectural history. In 1998, the building was converted to a hotel as part of the preservation effort. The lobby ceiling still has the original gold leaf Art Deco mural of Atlas carrying the world on his shoulders with the Boston skyline appearing on the horizon.
Managed by Aimbridge Hospitality and refreshed through a multi-million-dollar investment by DiamondRock Hospitality Company and renovation led by Hirsch Bedner Associates Los Angeles, The Dagny features 377 redesigned guestrooms and 26 renovated suites with floor-to-ceiling marble bathrooms.
At the heart of the hotel are a pair of culinary, cocktail and coffee destinations: the Tradesman Coffee Shop & Lounge, known for its signature croissants, specialty coffees and all day-menu that transforms into a cocktail hour by night; and the fine-dining restaurant, Fin Point Oyster Bar & Grille, where travelers and locals alike can enjoy seafood from morning to night, indulging in New England classics at its raw bar and ocean-to-table plates.
The hotel offers 9,000 square feet of meeting space, including 15 meeting rooms. The new 2,000-square-foot fitness center located on the third floor features city views and state-of-the-art equipment from Technogym and Peloton. With an on-site library, weekly yoga classes, and more, the hotel offers curated itineraries with personalized, unique-to-Boston outings developed by certified Les Clefs d’Or concierges.
The Dagny Boston’s double entrances provide direct access to Downtown Boston on one side of the hotel and the Financial District on the other. The hotel is a stone’s throw from the South Boston Waterfront, which is home to museums, art galleries and waterfront restaurants and bars.
