"In this episode we are delighted to be joined by Bruce Percelay, founder and Chairman of the The Mount Vernon Company...This was one of our favorite episodes and truly one you don’t want to miss!"

The best hotels if you're traveling in a large group but don't want to risk an Airbnb.

On the surface it looks like another run-of-the-mill list of reader-picked favorite hotels, resorts, cruise ships, and the like. But the Monday release of Condé Nast Traveler’s annual Reader’s Choice Awards offered up a true shocker to Boston’s luxury hotel world. Not only did an inexpensive hotel in the South End make the list — it topped it.

The Revolution Hotel, which opened late last year, offers smaller, modern rooms at rates roughly a third the price of nearby hotels in Back Bay. While Percelay expected millennial travelers to drive business, he said cost-conscious families and business travelers have been the hotel’s biggest client base. That keeps him optimistic for his own property’s performance.

True to its name, the Revolution Hotel is ushering in a new breed of hotel stay. Despite being in the South End, one of the most desirable quarters of Boston, the hotel prices many of its small-format rooms at around $120 per night, a steal compared to its neighbors in Back Bay and downtown that regularly charge triple that amount.

Fundraising effort marks the largest of its kind in American history.

NANTUCKET (August 12, 2019) – In front of the thousands gathered at Jetties Beach for the annual Boston Pops on Nantucket concert, Nantucket Cottage Hospital capital campaign chairman Bruce A. Percelay announced the successful completion of the hospital’s $120 million fundraising effort to build the island’s new healthcare facility. It marked the culmination of the largest community hospital fundraising campaign ever conducted in the United States.

With the opening of Revolution Hotel, young-at-heart travelers no longer have to pay an arm and a leg to wake up among the English-style squares and Victorian brownstones of Boston’s charming South End neighborhood. The hip, millennial-friendly boutique is one of the most affordable in the city and feels like a steal given its modern-day trimmings, which include a very welcoming, art-filled lobby and an industrial-chic co-working space that doubles as a bar and backdrop for cultural programming.

The Mount Vernon Company has completed construction of the Radius Apartments, a 132 unit multifamily community located at 530 Western Avenue in Brighton, MA. The building will earn green building certification through LEED Multifamily Midrise v2010. LEED is a comprehensive certification program that takes a holistic view of building sustainability, including low impact site and landscaping; water efficiency; energy efficiency; low-impact and healthy materials; and high indoor air quality.
