Needham, MA Haynes Group, Inc. and Group One Partners have reunited to renovate the Sheraton Hotel, their third hospitality project together.

“This will be an operational hotel, requiring coordination and logistics for path of travel as well as minimizing construction noise,” said Angela Atwood, project manager at Haynes Group, Inc. “The schedule is aggressive for the third and fourth floors, we will have work running for many floors concurrently.”

Haynes Group takes a client-centric approach to all hospitality projects, with over ten years of experience working with some of the region’s top brands such as the Hyatt Harborside Hotel, the Revere Hotel, the Crowne Plaza Hotel, and DoubleTree by Hilton. “What connects our projects is our desire to enhance the lives of people and the communities we serve,” said Patrick Andrews, senior vice president of hospitality. “We operate with the philosophy that we are an extension of our clients.”

Sharing that client-centric approach is Group One Partners, a full-service hospitality design and procurement firm leading the vision for this project.

Group One’s 51-year experience in hospitality and occupied renovations will be a tremendous asset to this project. Working closely with the Ownership, Operations as well as the Construction team, Group One has selected products and materials that will have the appropriate lead times as well as transform the hotel into its next design vision. “It is projects like this where we all have to work seamlessly together towards the common end goal, these are the projects we love to sink our teeth into,” said Harry Wheeler, AIA, Principal of Group One Partners.

Renovations will include 125-tub-to-shower conversions, 245-guestroom renovations, and updates to public space through a multi-phased approach beginning with the fifth floor through the first floor. The Sheraton Hotel is under construction and anticipated completion will be early Spring 2022.
