Instantly recognizable for its refined skyline profile, Raffles Boston is a striking new luxury hospitality, retail, and residential property offering a dramatic and sophisticated destination in the heart of the Back Bay. This 35-story, 400-foot tower opened as the first-ever mixed-use property in North America for the renowned Raffles brand. With an inventive cantilevered structure and a modest footprint of 65 feet from the neighboring Hancock Tower, it is a compelling feat of hospitality architecture featuring 147 guestrooms, 146 condominium units, 16 unique gathering spaces including three exceptional dining experiences and The Long Bar & Terrace, a Paolo Ferrari-designed lounge.
Every element of Raffles Boston is designed to deliver the best experience for both guests and residents, from the building’s curved shape, which maximizes vistas from every residence and guestroom to the distinct hotel and residence entrances and a dramatic 17th-floor sky lobby with a signature grand stair. An exclusive amenity program elevates the level of luxury even further, featuring a 20m indoor pool, Guerlain Spa, and expansive outdoor terrace spaces that befit the storied Raffles name.
