"Boston’s got so much history it sometimes feels as though there wouldn’t be any room for something new. And while the Revolution Hotel does draw a little bit of near-history inspiration — it occupies a mid-century modernist building in the mostly brick-lined South End — the past doesn’t exactly weigh heavily on its designers’ minds. That modernist inspiration is plainly visible in the guest rooms, which pursue the style much further than did the YWCA that once stood on this site, and which, in their muted blues and reds, pay explicit tribute to New England’s specifically local modernist tradition." - Tablet Hotels
