A new hotel near Boston is a first for Marriott. The property, dubbed The Framingham Hotel Collection, is the first Marriott Bonvoy tri-brand hotel property in the region, with only a few others in the entire world.

The historic property was originally a castle-inspired hotel. With Marriott’s takeover and extensive reinvention, however, the property becomes three hotels on one campus. The Framingham Collection consists of Renaissance Framingham Hotel & Conference Center, Fairfield Inn & Suites Framingham and TownePlace Suites Framingham (the Renaissance-branded hotel is the campus’s flagship). All in all, The Framingham Collection offers nearly 400 guestrooms and suites, multiple new dining options (including an Irish pub, New England breakfast restaurant and lobby café), and meeting and event space.
Now, across the three Marriott brands represented, this “castle hotel” can serve leisure, business and extended stay travelers, as well as groups for special occasions.

David Laurent, general manager, The Framingham Hotel Collection, said of the new rebrand, “With fully renovated accommodations, modernized public spaces and new culinary concepts, we are excited to welcome travelers and the community back to a refreshed Framingham legend.”
