Inside The Newly Redesigned Royal Suite At Four Seasons Hotel Boston

Forbes25-03-2025

The cinema room.
Four Seasons Hotel Boston first opened in June 1985 in the city's Back Bay and has since been a staple in Boston's luxury hotel scene. There have been many renovations over the years, including a 2023 refresh of the lobby, Coterie lounge and restaurant, and lobby-level amenities by AD100 designer Ken Fulk.
More than a year later, the hotel's crown jewel accommodation, the Royal Suite, was extensively redesigned to match these elegant additions and renovations. Situated on the sixth floor, the 2,590-square-foot Royal Suite overlooks the Boston Public Garden and has an entrance foyer, one bedroom, one bathroom, a powder room, service kitchen, a private balcony, dining room, a living room, and a private cinema room. The suite was transformed by Boston-based Niemitz Design Group, a firm that specializes in restaurant, hotel, and entertainment design, who hoped to create a residential-inspired suite with bold colors and classic architectural details. It was meant to recreate the feeling of a classic Boston brownstone seen in the Back Bay neighborhood.
The private bar.
The lovely living room has a fireplace and a private marble-topped bar with seating for four—perfect for private events. It connects to a small balcony with seating that overlooks the skyline and public gardens. Together, there's room for up to 25 guests in total. The bar is stocked with a martini set-up starring Coterie gin, which was created exclusively for the hotel by Short Path Distillery in Everett, Massachusetts. The nearby dining room can seat up to 12 guests and has grasscloth walls, blue moulding, and a gold-veined ceiling.
The dining room.
'The gold pattern on the ceiling was selected because it's interesting both day and night,' says Peter Niemitz, founder of Niemitz Design Group. 'When you have candlelight or low lighting at night, it becomes a very striking room. With the colors and patterns, the goal was to make it look dramatic without being over the top.'
It's the striking use of color and thoughtful details (like the curated library and decor) that make this suite feel like a private home. Niemitz says that all of the carpets were custom designed and made exclusively for each room. The group also custom designed the furniture and had it exclusively made for each space. Perhaps one of the most well-dressed (and most fun) rooms within the suite is the private cinema room, which has royal blue walls, a tufted velvet chaise, patterned carpet, and built-in blue cabinets and media stand. Oversized windows looking out onto the gardens add natural light to the space.
The bedroom.
The cinema room has tiered seating with a custom-designed multi-room Bang and Olufsen sound system and Apple TV. There's even popcorn and theater treats similar to the Vaults, which are the hotel's fully stocked snack pantries located on each floor. The pantry kitchen just outside the theater also has sweet treats from a local confectioner and is stocked with an array of beverages.
The Royal Suite's rates are $14,000 and up per night and it's available for both short-term and long-term stays, as well as private events.

America's Oldest Cheesemaker Seeks New Stewardship

HEALDVILLE, Vt., June 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Crowley Cheese, America's oldest continuously operating cheesemaker, is seeking new ownership. A true heritage brand, Crowley traces its cheesemaking roots in Healdville, Vermont to the late 1700s, with commercial production beginning in 1824. Since then, it has operated just a few hundred feet from its original site—first in the Crowley family's farmhouse kitchen, and since 1882, in its now-iconic cheese factory. Today, the Crowley Cheese Factory stands as the oldest remaining cheese factory in the United States and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A beloved Vermont destination, it draws visitors year-round to witness traditional cheesemaking firsthand, tour the preserved factory, and sample its celebrated cheeses. True to its origins, Crowley still produces its signature handcrafted raw milk cheddar using the same time-honored recipe that has earned acclaim around the world. For much of the 20th century, the local post office operated out of the Crowley Farm due to the sheer volume of cheese shipments leaving for global destinations. Today, Crowley continues to ship nationwide and can be found in select retailers across Vermont and the Northeast. While the recipe has remained unchanged, Crowley's product line has expanded with six different aging levels and a dozen flavored varieties. In addition to its classic Holstein-based cheddar, Crowley now also produces cheese using A2 Jersey cow milk. Since 2009, Galen and Jill Jones have lovingly owned and operated Crowley Cheese. Now preparing for retirement, they are seeking the next passionate steward to carry the legacy forward. "It's been a privilege to be part of this incredible tradition," says Galen Jones. "Preserving the integrity of Crowley's recipe and the authenticity of its historic factory has always guided our work. But it's time for fresh leadership to shepherd Crowley into its third century. With so much potential for growth, we believe the best chapters are still ahead." Interested parties are encouraged to contact the owners directly to learn more about this rare opportunity to steward a living piece of American food history.

New COO brings 30 years of leadership to growing private aviation firm

Story Highlights Fast-growing Airshare hires a COO. Suzanne Williams spent the past 10 years at BarkleyOKRP, most recently as COO and CFO. Airshare is a 2025 Champions of Business honoree. From the Kansas City Business Journal. Airshare has hired Suzanne Williams as its new COO. GET TO KNOW YOUR CITY Find Local Events Near You Connect with a community of local professionals. Explore All Events Airshare is one of the largest private aviation companies in the U.S., operating a fleet of more than 100 aircraft from coast to coast. Founded in 2000, the company offers aircraft management, fractional ownership, EMBARK jet cards and charter services. Airshare saw revenue growth of 26.9% from 2021 to 2023, reaching $210.15 million in revenue for 2023. Last year, it reported $371.8 million in revenue. Williams brings more than 30 years of experience to Airshare, where she started last month. She spent the past 10 years at BarkleyOKRP, most recently as COO and CFO. Before that, she spent 21 years in a wide variety of leadership positions at Sprint, mainly in auditing, but last worked as the vice president of planning and analysis. For the past year and a half, Williams has been a board member for Kansas City-based Centric Construction Inc. 'We are thrilled to hire someone as talented as Suzanne and anticipate her making an immediate impact in many areas of our business,' Airshare CEO John Owen said. 'This is a vital role within our growth plans; therefore, we spent considerable time making sure we found the right person. I'm confident she will be a tremendous asset for us.' At Airshare, Williams will lead the finance, legal, human resources and IT departments. She also will be a member of the executive leadership team, reporting to Owen, and joined Airshare's board. Airshare is a 2025 Champions of Business honoree. Although she doesn't have any experience in the aviation industry, Williams said said her role shares a lot of similarities to work she has done in the past. Both Airshare and BarkleyOKRP are people businesses, and that will translate pretty quickly. 'I was looking for a new challenge, and it just worked out this way,' she said. 'Airshare has a great reputation. They've done a lot of M&A on both the buy and sell side the last couple of years, so all that definitely gets me excited to be a part of the very experienced team Airshare has developed.' Williams said she spent her first week on a plane, visiting all of the Airshare hangars and facilities nationwide with the executive team and asking a million questions. 'I learned quite a bit, just being basically locked in a plane with them for three days,' Williams said. 'We had a one-day, off-site executive meeting to really talk about the company's priorities. Just getting to know John (Owen) and the lead team, and building those relationships, made a fantastic first week. That really carried into the next few weeks to help me get up the learning curve quicker. So it was a great way to start.'

Entrepreneur UK's London 100: 32Co

Industry: Healthtech 32Co is a London based dental healthtech startup pioneering a new future for collaborative healthcare, by innovating a platform that enables generalist and specialist clinicians to work together and share knowledge, virtually, for the first time. The result? Improved quality of patient care, reduced costs, and new revenue streams. Less than ten years ago, 32Co's founder and CEO Dr Sonia Szamocki was still walking the halls of London's A&E departments. Treating dog bites, a dislocated shoulder, and a seizure could all be in a day's work. In London's hospitals, Dr Szamocki prized the ability to chat with and learn from colleagues with specialised knowledge, which she could then use to help patients with these problems: heart surgeons, facial clinic specialists, tendon specialists. However, she noticed that at a general level, access to the very best specialist treatment and knowledge was limited. Put plainly, an already small pool of specialist clinicians are unable to share their expertise with general clinicians. This made Dr Szamocki think, how could we help clinicians provide more cutting-edge treatment, sooner, and spread niche medical knowledge to help improve patient care? She soon pivoted to healthcare consulting at Boston Consulting Group, where she advised on major transformation projects. Later, under BCG's Digital Ventures arm, she helped build the world's largest digital health platform for haemophilia patients. Fast forward to 2022, Dr Szamocki founded 32Co. This company is a shining light for London-based startups - its platform and founder are fundamentally paving a new path that could revolutionise the way public and private healthcare systems operate in years to come. A testament to 32Co's vision, it has been backed by Balderton Capital, the early investors in Revolut, Depop, Wayve, and Clue. "As an A&E doctor, I witnessed firsthand the inefficiencies of the healthcare system - how specialist knowledge is siloed and how connecting patients with expert care is often slow and complex", says Dr. Szamocki. "I kept asking myself: why should healthcare innovation take decades to reach those who need it most? That's why I founded 32Co: to break down these barriers, empower clinicians to collaborate across specialties, and ensure every patient receives the best possible care, no matter where they are."
