About The Verve, Crowne Plaza Hotel
With a $25 million renovation under its belt, The Verve, Crowne Plaza Hotel has, according to
BizBash, “replaced its button-down corporate identity with a cool, flashy style, like a businessman shedding his suit and tie for an exciting night on the town.” The modern orange and white lobby opens into the swanky Violet Thorn, where late-night revelers can sip creative cocktails and savor small plates in a comfortable, purple-lit lounge. The Verve, Crowne Plaza’s steakhouse, has been transformed into The Pantry, which now serves up a menu of mouthwatering Continental classics—everything from paninis to filet mignon—to locals and out-of-towners alike. Conveniently located right off the Mass Pike on Route 9 (just 15 miles outside of Boston and across from the Natick Mall), The Verve is sure to delight guests and diners with its new-found energy and verve.
