PERCELAYS DONATE $10 MILLION TO PROJECT; DESIGNED BY CANNON
The Nantucket Cottage Hospital (NCH) opened its doors for its new hospital, replacing its former facility built in 1957. The new NCH sets a national standard for small community hospitals with expanded outpatient services and increased capacity for inpatient care and surgery
The Revolution Hotel was featured on Chronicle - ABC News Center 5.
Bruce Percelay, chairmen and founder of the Mount Vernon Company, appeared on WBZ-BOS (CBS) to talk about the new Revolution Hotel.
It takes a special kind of property to reflect its location and culture, but it takes a truly interesting property to reflect its history, and then share that with guests through design. Newly opened, The Revolution Hotel in Boston not only showcases the city’s storied past through its decor and art installations but is a piece of artwork itself.
Hotels have already turned their lobbies into spaces where guests can socialize or work. Now, some properties are going one step further to cater to business travelers and professionals in general: They’ve set up WeWork-style co-working areas.
The Revolution Hotel opened its doors in Boston just weeks ago. With a website proclaiming “The Revolution will be Instagrammed,” this is the hub hotel for artists, freewheelers, and Gen X-and-unders. There’s a shot everywhere you turn.
Walk into the almost-finished hotel at 40 Berkeley St. in the South End, and the first thing you’ll see is Martin Luther King. Then Clara Barton, John F. Kennedy, and Malcolm X. These once-Bostonians are staring down on the lobby, their images part of a bright street-art-style mural on the upper walls, mixed in with a rippling American flag, the seal of the City of Boston, and an eagle. Straight ahead, back by the stairs, a column is being transformed into a sort of totem pole, festooned with telephones, sewing machines, computer mice, and other things that were invented in Massachusetts.
ROCKET MAN: Apparently, astronaut Drew Feustel recently touched down in Boston to attend a private welcome-home party. We’re told that the out-of-this-world explorer, who returned to Earth earlier this fall after a 191-day mission aboard the International Space Station, and his wife, speech-language pathologist Indira Feustel, marked his arrival back on solid ground at the Chestnut Hill home of their close friends Bruce Percelay, founder of The Mount Vernon Company and publisher of Nantucket Magazine, and his wife, Elisabeth.
