Our place in Boston’s past, present and future
From the Boston Tea Party to the start of the American Revolutionary War, Boston’s history shaped the world. An intellectual and artistic capital, with some of the most revered writers, composers, artists, painters and visionaries of the 20th century calling Boston home, it’s also an epicentre of academic excellence and sport. At Raffles Boston we celebrate not only the exceptional character of the city, but the indomitable spirit of its inhabitants, channelling their passion, curiosity, approachability and warmth. To that we are proud to add the luxury, glamour and extraordinary service for which Raffles is known all over the world.
Design inspired by the city's Emerald Necklace
Award-winning hospitality design firm Stonehill Taylor created all the rooms and suites and most of our public spaces, infusing the design with an elegant and comfortable residential atmosphere. Inspiration was drawn from Raffles Boston’s historic cultural surroundings and the city’s Emerald Necklace, carrying botanical influences throughout the property. Art and sculptural design employ materials and patterns that play off Boston’s history and architecture. Copper accents are prevalent throughout, in a nod to Paul Revere’s copper plating company; historical illustrations adorn custom wall coverings; whimsical lighting is inspired by florals; and greenery references the charming window boxes found throughout Back Bay.
