Hotel information
Raffles – the iconic hotel group founded in Singapore in 1887 – is renowned for offering world-class luxury hospitality and exceptional service. Now, Raffles Boston is making its debut as the brand’s first American outpost.
Located right in the heart of Back Bay, the hotel puts you within easy reach of all the must-see attractions in Boston, from Copley Square and Newbury Street to the Boston Public Library, Boston Public Garden, and the charming, gas-lit streets of Beacon Hill.
After busy afternoons sightseeing, retreat to the hotel’s sophisticated spaces, where you can seriously unwind with Raffles’ signature butler service, available for all rooms and suites. Or head to the Wellness Floor, where you can melt away stress in the Guerlain Spa, rejuvenate in hydrotherapy baths, sweat it out in the fitness centre, and swim in the 20-meter indoor pool.
In the evenings, head up to the showstopping Long Bar & Terrace – named in honour of the famous Long Bar from the original Singapore hotel – to relax with a drink and take in spectacular views of the city. Be sure to try the hotel’s special cocktail, the ‘Boston Sling’: a local spin on the classic ‘Singapore Sling’, featuring apple and cranberry for a taste of New England.
