Here's a look at new Boston hotels, conference centers, restaurants, private rooms, and other spaces to open for events this fall. The new and renovated Boston venues are available for corporate parties, weddings, fund-raisers, outdoor functions, business dinners, teambuilding activities, conferences, meetings, and more.

The Royal Sonesta Boston unveiled 28,000 square feet of newly renovated meeting and event space in May. The Riverfront Room is a 3,125-square-foot space that can fit anywhere from 40 people for conference-style meetings to 350 people for reception-style events. The new 2,100-square-foot Longfellow meeting space, which overlooks the Charles River and the Boston skyline, is a series of three different spaces that can be combined into one room, or separated for smaller events. Finally, the 1,938-square-foot Parkview room, which has floor-to-ceiling windows and matte silver walls, can fit as many as 260 guests reception-style, 150 seated guests, or 45 conference-style.

Saltie Girl, a 1,000-square-foot Back Bay restaurant, is a seafood-lover’s dream.
