The black trim really pulled it all together vs the black brick part looking tacked on.

The architects must have been watching "The Big Lebowski" and suddenly a 1000-watt lightbulb turned on over their heads.

Final sidewalks being poured around the building
 
I would be more upset if the Greenway/Big Dig was better than a couple high speed lanes choking off some small parks and off ramps, but that's basically what this is facing.

The brick blends in nicely from this angle

It actually looks good from that angle. I think its because you cant see the discoloration of the black brick panels that you see up close. I guess now I see what they were going for.

-Actually looking back at the more recent pictures above the black brick does look a lot better, they must have powerwashed it. Im gonna have to go see it again soon in person as the finished product and see how it looks with all the trim finished and the facade cleaned up.

Heres a gallery of the restaurant and bar from the building website.

The visibility of the ground floor piece at the intersection of Blackstone and Hanover is nice. It's very open and glassy. Can't recall if the restaurant is going there or just upstairs.

According to this article, there will be two restaurants. The one that will open first is on the second floor.
Rose Town Kitchen & Bar, a casual brasserie-style café, is located on the second floor of the hotel. It will serve New England classics for breakfast and dinner, and eventually lunch and brunch, Rosenblatt said.

Rosenblatt called the shareable plates “high-quality snacking” and said guests can choose from pizzas (called pies), as well as seafood, beef, chicken, and vegetarian options. The bar will serve classic cocktails with local craft beers on draft and international wines.

“It has a horseshoe-shaped bar, which is another nod to the neighborhood — to the original Union Oyster House first-floor bar that has so much history,” Rosenblatt said.

When the restaurant’s windows slide open during warm-weather months, guests will enjoy an open-air experience over the Greenway, Rosenblatt said. He predicted the bar stools along the window wall will be “highly coveted.”

“This is going to be a unique and vibrant restaurant that’s going to be exciting for people to come explore,” he said.

A second restaurant with a rooftop terrace will open in the fall, Rosenblatt said.

Just noticed how in that photo how the blackened brick end of the new hotel does work pretty well with the dark framework/trellis (in the foreground) in the RKG park. I doubt if that was intentional but they look good together.
 
The hotel gels nicely with the parking garage next door, especially the underlying 1980s suburban vibe. Funny that one was (likely?) built then, the other just meant to evoke it.
