The Seaport Boston Hotel and the neighboring Seaport World Trade Center is located on the Boston waterfront at 1 Seaport Lane, Boston, MA 02210 on Commonwealth Pier, in the South Boston neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The South Boston Waterfront is also known unofficially at the Boston Seaport District. Constructed in 1901 as a maritime cargo handling facility, Commonwealth Pier was the largest pier building in the world at the time. Able to accommodate the largest vessels that entered the port of Boston, this facility was an integral part of city's maritime industry, handling both freight and passenger traffic, with rail and truck transportation access right on the pier. Commonwealth Pier subsequently underwent two major renovations〔() 〕 and continued to host ships through the 1970s, when changes in cargo transport made the Pier obsolete. In the early 1980s, the Massachusetts Port Authority designated Fidelity Investments and The Drew Company as developers of Commonwealth Pier,〔() 〕 which they transformed into the World Trade Center Boston in 1986. The Seaport Boston Hotel opened in 1998.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Boston's Seaport Hotel: Open for Business )〕 Renovations were completed in 2009〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Seaport Hotel renovates in face of brisker competition )〕 by the New York architects BBG-BBGM.
