Raffles Boston Set to Unveil Company’s Inaugural US Hotel

Raffles, the prestigious ultra-luxury hotel brand with a history of over 130 years, is set to make its debut in the US with the opening of Raffles Boston Back Bay Hotel & Residences later this year. The hotel, which is part of Accor, will be located at 430 Stuart St. in the heart of Boston’s historic and cultural district, close to attractions such as Fenway Park, Copley Square and the Museum of Fine Arts.

The hotel will occupy a 35-story glass tower designed by The Architectural Team, Inc., with interiors by Stonehill Taylor and Rockwell Group. The building’s design was inspired by the city’s Emerald Necklace, a network of parks and green spaces that connects different neighborhoods. The hotel will feature a three-story sky lobby, a first for Boston, offering panoramic views of the city skyline.

The hotel will have 147 guest rooms, including 33 suites, all with elegant furnishings, state-of-the-art technology and signature Raffles amenities such as butler service and Raffles Spa products. The hotel will also have 146 branded residences, ranging from one- to four-bedroom units, with access to the hotel’s facilities and services.

The hotel will offer six food and beverage venues, including a rooftop lounge with an outdoor terrace, a speakeasy-style bar, a signature restaurant with a seasonal menu, a lobby lounge with afternoon tea service, a garden terrace and a café. The hotel will also have 16 meeting and event spaces, including a 4,500-square-foot ballroom and several boardrooms.

The hotel will also feature a state-of-the-art spa and fitness center, with a 20-meter indoor lap pool, a sauna, a steam room, a relaxation lounge and treatment rooms. The spa will offer a range of wellness services and therapies, using products from Biologique Recherche and Kerstin Florian.

Raffles Boston Back Bay Hotel & Residences will join Raffles’ collection of 14 distinctive properties around the world, including iconic locations such as Singapore, Paris and Dubai. The hotel will bring Raffles’ legendary service and hospitality to the US market, catering to discerning travelers who seek exceptional experiences.
