Southie is growing by leaps and bounds – especially the waterfront!  Well, we are about to get a new and very luxurious hotel complete with a giant ballroom, 1000 rooms (holy moly) and maybe even a skating rink!

According to an article written by Jon Chesto in the Boston Globe, Massport’s board approved the plans for the hotel located at the corner of D and Summer – right across from the Boston Convention  Center.
