An Insider's Take
'This isn't just any luxury hotel—it's Boston's first Raffles property, bringing legendary Singapore hospitality to the heart of Back Bay's most coveted address.' What's Special? Housed in a stunning Beaux-Arts building from 1912, this architectural gem was originally the headquarters of New England Telephone & Telegraph Company. The hotel masterfully blends historic grandeur with contemporary luxury, featuring soaring 14-foot ceilings and original marble details. As part of Accor's ultra-luxury collection, it offers the brand's signature butler service and maintains the Raffles legacy of refined hospitality that began in colonial Singapore.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a corner suite facing Copley Square for unobstructed views of Trinity Church and the Boston Public Library—two architectural masterpieces you can admire without leaving your room.
Don't Miss The hotel sits directly on Copley Square, Boston's cultural epicenter. You're steps from the Boston Marathon finish line, the iconic Trinity Church (a National Historic Landmark), and the stunning McKim Building of the Boston Public Library. The upscale shopping of Newbury Street and the greenery of the Public Garden are both within a 5-minute stroll.
