Built in 1922, ab88kai was formerly The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston before being converted into a hotel in 1981. 

As a historic landmark, the building is protected by the Boston Landmarks Commission, and looks almost exactly like it did back in its banking days. 

Relax with cocktails and ice-cold pints at The Fed, our British-inspired cocktail bar with a chic New England twist. 

Inspired by The Wigmore Pub at our flagship hotel in London, The Fed offers elevated pub fare, such as reimagined corn dogs and a New England seafood tower.

 The collection features a total of 268 pieces, of which 126 are intimately linked to Boston's rich culture.
