Chelsea, MA – The 64,000sf Holiday Inn Boston Logan Airport celebrated its grand opening recently with a ribbon-cutting event. It was the first new Holiday Inn located in the Greater Boston area in over 20 years.
XSS Hotels of Manchester, N.H., developed the property, and PROCON, also based in Manchester, was the designer and builder.
The design team created sophisticated décor with rich furnishings, fixtures, and finishes throughout the hotel.

The reception includes a stylish bar and lounge with an inviting fireplace and chic seating, and it segues into the restaurant that offers an appetizing full menu. Groups can take advantage of the 1,100sf meeting space that subdivides in two with access to a pedestrian path and views of the nearby Chelsea Mill Creek.

The hotel is just over two miles from Boston Logan Airport, in Chelsea, and is five miles from Boston’s culture, historical landmarks, shopping, and dining. The full-service upscale hotel was designed for business and leisure travelers with a level of luxury that makes it a one-of-a-kind for the brand.
There are 124 luxury double-queen and king guest rooms that are equipped with complimentary Wi-Fi, USB-charging-ports, minirefrigerators, microwaves, coffee Keurigs, and 49-in. HDTVs. Other amenities include a fitness center, swimming pool, a 24×7 business center, and the 24-hour sundries market. Complimentary shuttle service is available between the hotel and Boston Logan International Airport.
PROCON Copresident Lance Bennett had executive oversight of the project and stated, “This was our 40th project with XSS Hotels, and we were excited to help them bring this new IHG hotel to the airport market.”

PROCON and XSS Hotels are no strangers to the City of Chelsea; over the last four years, they have partnered on three other hotels in the City, namely, Residence Inn by Marriott, TownePlace Suites by Marriott, and the EBC Brownfields Award-winning Homewood Suites by Hilton. Together, all four hotels have added over 500 more guest rooms in the area – increasing the accommodation options for travelers, and making an economic impact on the City.
