The 200-room inn will be the first of the Millennial/Gen X-targeted Marriott brand in Boston. It is part of the Ink Block mega-project and should open in 2017.

The Godfrey will include 242 rooms in a hotel with a lobby bar; a 24-hour fitness center; complimentary Wi-Fi (not as common as you think!); and what a release from the developer describes as "state-of-the-art-digital technology." It's expected to open this fall.

The 330-room Aloft is expected to open this spring barely a half-mile from the convention center. Its rates will reportedly be cheaper than the mid-$200s at the nearby Westin.

The 210-room project, expected to open in 2016, is part of the much larger Merano project. The hotel portion will actually be two separate inns: an extended-stay Town Suites by Marriott and a Courtyard Marriott.

The 178-room inn is expected to open this summer.

The once magnificent-but-not-so-much-anymore hotel remains open as it undergoes a massive renovation (the property is more than 1,000 rooms).

This large-scale redevelopment of the John Hancock Hotel & Conference Center is slated to include 220 hotel rooms. The Boston Redevelopment Authority has O.K.'d the project, including its two-story lobby starting on the 18th floor, though it appears to be stalled amid objections to its scope from surrounding residents.

Officially to be known as the Four Seasons Hotel & Private Residences One Dalton Street, Boston's tallest new building in a generation will include 211 hotel rooms amid its 61 stories. The whole thing is expected to be finished in 2017.

The Boston Landing mega-project, which should all finish opening in 2016, will include a 175-room boutique hotel.

The larger-scale redevelopment of the old Circle Cinema site is due to include a 162-room Hilton Garden Inn. The project is still under review by the city, though.

Nothing's finalized yet, but a 10-story, 180-room hotel is currently part of a much larger complex just off the Greenway.

This 150-room Marriott Residence Inn seemed to be cruising toward approval at the start of 2015; then community opposition over whether or not the hotel would employ union workers tossed a wrench in things. Stay tuned.

The Boston Redevelopment Authority just approved plans for the conversion of the old Chain Forge Building into a 230-room extended-stay hotel with a 6,000-square-foot restaurant.

Plans were just put forth for what would be a 69-room, brick-and-limestone inn on a three-acre site. It would include a synagogue as well as a kosher restaurant.
