Raffles Boston introduces the brand to North America and brings the finest hotel rooms to the Boston hospitality landscape. The hotel’s interior is comprised of a three-story Sky Lobby, terrace, and public spaces including a patisserie, special-occasion restaurant, and two-story speakeasy designed by Stonehill Taylor. The hotel's design draws inspiration from Boston's botanical gardens, Harvard University’s Arnold Arboretum, and the historic Revere Copper Company while also embracing the overarching eclecticism found throughout the Raffles brand. Luxury extends to the guest rooms featuring crystal bedside lamps, glass mirror-backed vitrine minibars, hardwood floors with copper accents, and custom floral bathroom murals. The garden suites are a vibrant conservatory; guests enter through a deep green vestibule and are greeted with a botanically inspired space. The remaining suites are centered around curated art and furnishing collections composed of works from local artists. The presidential suite represents the height of luxury and functionality, complete with an expansive wood paneled living room, a dining and kitchen area, platinum-leafed gold headboard, and full marble bathroom.
