Raffles Boston, the stunning hotel from the illustrious hospitality brand, Raffles Hotels & Resorts, officially opened its doors to guests on September 15, 2023.
The highly-anticipated property
represents the first mixed-use development in North America for the
136-year-old brand, marking a new era for the legendary collection.
Offering an urban oasis in the heart of Back Bay, Raffles Boston
features 147 sumptuous guestrooms and a wide variety of distinct
gathering spaces for guests, residents and locals to discover.
“We are delighted to extend the legendary Raffles brand into the
Americas with Raffles Boston, and are incredibly grateful to the dynamic
ownership teams from Cain International, Noannet Group and Saunders
Hotel Group for their trust in, and commitment to, the Raffles brand.” said Omer Acar, CEO of Raffles & Orient Express.
“Raffles properties act as vessels for generations of world travelers
to explore destinations through the highest level of hospitality and
gracious service. Boston represents a historic and sophisticated
cultural hub in the United States, and we could not imagine a more
well-suited city to play host to the Raffles experience for years to
come.”
Upon entering Raffles Boston, guests ascend to the hotel’s 17th floor,
where a three-story Sky Lobby awaits, and a Grand Stair, iconic of the
Raffles brand, spirals through the atrium. More than a place to check-in
for a hotel stay, this soaring space connects guests for socializing,
and offers four distinct food & beverage venues. Dining experiences
include Amar by Chef George Mendes, the signature
restaurant serving modern Portuguese cuisine with influences from
Boston’s seafaring culture, the Long Bar & Terrace, a Paolo
Ferrari-designed lounge pairing cocktails with sweeping views of the
South End, and a Speakeasy offering specially crafted cocktails and
small bites. Also on the 17th floor is the Raffles Writer’s Lounge, a
signature Raffles space made famous for the esteemed writers and poets
who have frequented it within the flagship Raffles Singapore and a
number of other Raffles hotels around the world.
