Weiner is the wife of Boston-based developer Stephen Weiner. As the head of Weiner Ventures, he developed the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Boston, and has a portfolio there consisting of the Boston Park Plaza and the Verb Hotel, the firm’s website shows. Weiner is currently wrapped up in a years-long legal battle over a failed condo development, according to the Boston Globe.
