Pennyweight Hotel Renovation | Curio Collection by Hilton

Aiming to rebrand and refresh the former Kimpton Onyx Hotel into a Hilton Curio Collection destination, Boylston Properties tapped longtime collaborator JCJ Architecture, as the architect of record and interior designer for The Pennyweight Hotel Boston.

Completed in two phases, the Pennyweight Hotel houses 112 guestrooms, including four penthouse suites, across 12 stories. The design team renovated the existing hotel, working closely with Boylston Properties to transform the space to fit the Hilton Curio Collection brand.

The Pennyweight Hotel’s design aesthetic evokes an urban sophistication with an eclectic and irresistible spirit. Many traditional details incorporated throughout the property draw inspiration from its Boston locality and storied past combined with modern styling reflective of the emerging neighborhood full of pioneers, artisans, and entrepreneurs.

JCJ aimed to make the hotel feel at home in Boston, embracing traditional classic detailing with contemporary touches that nod to the city and its rich history.
