Thirty-Five-Story, $400 Million+ LEED Gold Hotel Project Opens This Summer
One of Boston’s most exciting developments in decades, Raffles Boston, is set to open later this summer and announced today that the hotel is now available for booking for stays beginning September 1, 2023. The property will mark the first mixed-use development in North America for the illustrious, world-renowned, 136-year old Raffles Hotels & Resortsbrand, and writes a new story for Boston’s hospitality and real estate industries alike. The 35-story, $400 million+ LEED Gold building will be an urban oasis where global cultures and local influences converge. Offering an unprecedented hotel experience in the heart of the city’s Back Bay, Raffles Boston features 147 guestrooms and 16 distinct gathering spaces. From top to bottom, Raffles Boston will showcase and celebrate what makes the Raffles brand so special: a sense of adventure and style, gracious and intuitive hospitality, and thoughtful, locally inspired design, all while enhancing the cosmopolitan charm of the Back Bay.
The first Raffles property opened its doors in 1887 in Singapore, and for more than a century, it has been known and loved as one of the world’s most iconic hotels both for its luxurious design and its exceptional hospitality. At Raffles properties worldwide, visitors are said to “arrive as guests, leave as friends, and return as family.” As part of its storied history, Raffles is renowned for introducing private butlers, creating the Singapore Sling, and serving as a haven for writers, artists, film stars and royalty, from Joseph Conrad and Rudyard Kipling to Elizabeth Taylor and Queen Elizabeth II. Raffles currently offers a collection of 18 individually unique and timeless properties in fascinating cities and vibrant destinations around the world: Singapore, Paris, Bali, Warsaw, Phnom Penh, and the Maldives to name a few. Along with Raffles Boston, the brand has exciting upcoming openings in London and Macau this year with many more properties under development.
