Owned and operated by Meera LLC, an entity of Jamsan Hotel Management, the hotel will complete a $5 Million dollar renovation to upgrade all guestrooms and public areas by early next year.

“Four Points Wakefield Boston Hotel & Conference Center is an important addition to the fast-growing Four Points portfolio as we continue our aggressive brand expansion in dynamic cities across the globe,” said Brian McGuinness, Senior Vice President of Specialty Select Brands for Starwood. “The Four Points brand caters to the smart, independent traveler with its approachable experience offering what matters most, plus extras guests want.”
