THE FIRST RAFFLES IN NORTH AMERICA
What’s your escape?
Escape into luxury and elegance in the historic Back Bay neighborhood at Raffles Boston. This welcoming oasis offers timeless hospitality, world class service, gastronomic delights and sweeping views of the city. The property is located within a block of high-end shopping at Copley Place and just a short walk from Newbury Street as well as many other attractions such as Fenway Park, Museum of Fine Arts, Prudential Center and Symphony Hall.
The sky lobby on the seventeenth floor is an inspiring three story space with a dramatic stairway and diverse amenities. Front of house staff are always available and ready to assist with anything a guest may need. Some of the services and amenities you can expect with a stay at Raffles include: Raffles ballroom, spa, event venues, in-room dining and local connections. Two very unique features, which add to the exceptional experience, are the butler service and the in-room personal shopping. The opportunity to have an intuitive, attentive butler who ensures every minute of your stay is wonderful is truly an unmatched amenity. Additionally, the chance to shop from the comfort of your room offers both convenience and continued relaxation.
Raffles prioritizes wellness by offering a twenty-four hour fitness center, twenty-meter pool, oversized vitality pool and luxurious treatment options at Guerlain Spa; however, if you’re a fellow foodie you may want to know a bit more about the exquisite dining options. There are many delectable restaurants on property including: Amar, Long Bar and Terrace at Raffles, Cafe Pastel, Blind Duck and La Padrona. Raffles unites some of the most talented, charismatic restauranteurs under one roof. Amar is a fine dining restaurant inspired by Portuguese cuisine and local ingredients. The Long Bar and Terrace is Raffles all-day dining option offering New England classics, cocktails and afternoon tea. Blind Duck treats visitors to crafted cocktails with a story to tell, along with a seasonally changing menu of snacks and small plates. Cafe Pastel is a spot for pastries, parfaits, cold press juices and smoothies. La Padrona is opening on May 15th and will feature classic Italian dishes.
Travel Tip
Raffles Boston often partners with Amex Platinum Travel & Chase Sapphire Benefits. I would recommend using these programs for additional benefits if they are available to you. I book my stays through Amex Travel using the American Express Travel platinum concierge service or in app. A few of the perks include: daily breakfast for two, room upgrade when available, 12 pm check-in when available, guaranteed 4 pm check-out, $100 experience credit and complimentary wi-fi. Another perk is an annual $200 hotel credit, which makes the stay well worth the expense.
Song Suggestion for Raffles Boston is the instrumental piano version of Love Story by Indilia. This song evokes vibes of a classic story of love with a hint of luxury, the latter being readily on offer at Raffles.
