DGH Hotel Partners JV LLC, a joint venture between Global Hospitality Investment Group (GHIG) and a global investment management firm, has received approval for a new hotel in Boston's Seaport District. The Boston Zoning Commission granted approval on 11 February 2026, following a unanimous vote by the Boston Planning Department's Board.
The new urban lifestyle hotel, located on Anchor Street opposite the Thomas M. Menino Convention and Exhibition Centre, will add 438 guest rooms across 160,000 square feet. It will join the existing Aloft and Element Boston Seaport hotels, completing a 968-room hotel and retail campus under a long-term lease with the Massachusetts Convention Centre Authority (MCCA).
Kevin Colket, founder and CEO of GHIG, expressed enthusiasm for the project, stating, “We look forward to growing our presence in Boston by expanding our footprint next to the Aloft and Element Hotels and completing the vision of delivering a mixed-use campus.” The development aims to support the convention centre's expansion goals and contribute to the area's economic activity.
The project, designed to meet LEED Gold Certification, will feature a landscaped entry plaza, an indoor-outdoor lobby bar, and a rooftop amenity space. It promises to activate the neighbourhood with a pedestrian-friendly streetscape and create hundreds of local jobs.
GHIG, a hospitality-focused real estate private equity firm, manages approximately $600 million in assets. The firm partners with global operators to create long-term value through strategic investments in hospitality and mixed-use assets
