Thomas designed the hotel chandeliers more than a decade ago. This is the fourth Wynn Resorts property worldwide and those who know Wynn benchmarks will see them here: an ultra-opulent design aesthetic, unique art almost everywhere, all chosen by Wynn’s art curator Roger Thomas. Such numbers also pervade each element of Encore: a 210,000-square-foot casino, 15 dining outlets, 671 guest rooms and suites -including a 5,800-square-foot Presidential Villa- plus 50,000 square feet of event space, a 450-seat buffet restaurant, and a staff that includes graduates from The Greater Boston Gaming Career Center at Cambridge College, that Encore helped develop in order to cultivate an east coast casino workforce.Įven the carousel, designed by Preston Bailey who did floral sculptures at Wynn Las Vegas, has astounding stats: 15,000 pounds, 83,000 flowers, and 11,000 jewels. The first thing we learned about Encore Boston Harbor is its price tag $2.6 billion. Sort of a Disney paradise in a casino hotel. It is huge,-made entirely of silk flowers and crystals-and on the carousel seats are stuffed animals – monkeys, bears and the like. Then, in the lobby, there is the carousel. Under the guest’s feet are usually gold or red or bright blue mosaic patterns. It is a unique hotel in a unique location, one where flowers appear to bloom, even in November and December when we were there, and no surface seems average. With a new harborwalk and gardens, Encore Boston Harbor is opening the city’s waterfront once again, aiming to bring up to eight million visitors annually and invigorating the community for tomorrow.Encore Boston Harbor is a 33-acre casino hotel property, not in Boston Harbor but on the Mystic river, in the industrial part of Boston. To get to the new resort, guests can hop on a variety of transportation options aimed at lessening congestion from thousands of potential visitors to the 3.4-square-mile city each day, including shuttles, boats, motor coaches and direct rides from the T and other locations throughout Boston.Īdditionally, Wynn Resorts completed a nearly $70 million environmental cleanup on the site of a former chemical plant and along the Boston Harbor shoreline, to revitalize the Harbor’s industrial location and make it an asset for the public. Now open, the 27-floor resort is the largest private, single-phase development in the history of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and generated more than 5,000 jobs for the region thus far. Guiding the effort to build a five-star resort in one of the oldest and most densely populated U.S cities, our services included interfacing with local permitting authorities, adapting the design to the regional climate, implementing sustainable design with building systems that require half the typical usage, optimizing accessibility and coordinating with the construction efforts for an on time opening. The new 3.1 million square foot complex features a modern, bronze-glass hotel holding more than 671 key-luxury rooms, a 210,000 square foot casino, 37,000 square foot ballroom, conference spaces, fine dining restaurants, high end retail shops and a spa. Jacobs served as the executive architect for the casino resort, located on the river directly off the Boston Harbor in Everett, Massachusetts. It’s the subject of the popular tune, “Over the River and Through the Wood,” a narrative driver in the novel “Mystic River” and later, the Clint Eastwood-directed film of the same name – and now, Mystic River is home to the new Encore Boston Harbor resort.
