Dorchester is getting a new six-story hotel with a top-floor restaurant.

The building ties into 951-959 Dorchester Avenue. The board granted relief because hotel and restaurant uses are not allowed at the site under the current code, so the owner can now pull building permits.

The planning board approved the project Oct. 15, and the new determination lets it move ahead subject to design review. It replaces a vacant office building, near Fields Corner, with sidewalks and a new crosswalk added.

145 hotel rooms, two cities, one building.

It shrank from a 199-room AC Hotel first proposed in 2023. The owners are giving an easement to link the Grand Junction path to the Somerville Community Path and paying the first 25% of ramp design, up to $105,000.
