10. Aloft Boston Seaport
10. Aloft Boston Seaport

In August, Aloft Boston Seaport became one of two hotels in the United States to offer voice-activated hotel rooms. Known as "Project: Jetson," the experiment allows guests to interact just by saying "Hey, Siri." Each room is equipped with an iPad running a custom Aloft app that can control temperature, adjust lighting, set the music, and explore local attractions. It also allows guests to browse the Internet and check the weather. The new rooms range from 240 to 350 square feet, and are ideal for small meetings of two to four people. The hotel also has a total of 10,000 square feet of meeting space spread throughout seven different meeting spaces, each equipped with audiovisual hookups and technicians. The biggest is the Mann Ballroom, a 4,900-square-foot space that can accommodate as many as 500 guests for receptions or 250 for classroom-style seating.

Located on the main floor of the Johnson Building that completed renovations in July, the 15,000-square-foot Boylston Hall at the Boston Public Library offers an open, modern event space inside the first public library in the United States. With unique technical components such as the library’s Interactive Welcome Center and Digital Stacks, guests can browse more than 100,000 items from a collection that has been digitized, while feasting on the Catered Affair's culinary creations. The 4,500-square-foot Newsfeed Cafe, which opened in September, prominently stands in the renovated Johnson Building. Overlooking the Boston Marathon finish line, the venue also serves as a satellite studio for Boston TV station WGBH, which has news tickers that keep guests updated. The cafe fits as many as 1,000 guests for receptions or 500 seated.
