About us

│Boston Uncommon│ From up here, you don’t just see it—you feel it, too. The history that birthed a revolution. The intellect and energy that beckon from bustling squares, bookshops, and bistros. The skyline that promises even bolder horizons. Seventeen stories above the brownstones and tree-lined streets of Back Bay, surrounded by the windows of the sky lobby at Raffles Boston, the experience begins to cohere. And that’s only the arrival. Raffles Boston is located in Back Bay, the cultural epicenter of Boston, just nearby Fenway Park, the Museum of Fine Arts, Faneuil Hall, and some of the world’s most renowned universities and historic landmarks. │Gather for the Great Moments│ This city’s spirit of celebration comes to life in our dynamic event venues across our 18th and 19th floors. Host your headline-grabbing event in the Raffles Main Ballroom, with panoramas of the Charles River imparting a quintessentially Boston ambiance. More private get-togethers can be made to measure in our Neruda Boardroom, the flexible Malraux and Michener Meeting Rooms, and ample sunlit pre-function spaces. In every single venue, you’re supported by leading audio-visual technology and a team of professionals dedicated to your event’s success. │A Taste for the Finer Things in Life│ Amar pairs modern Mediterranean cuisine with an adventurous by-the-glass wine program. Time-honored New England classics abound at Long Bar & Terrace, with a refined approach to all-day dining and memorable nights. Just nearby, cleverly crafted cocktails await at Blind Duck speakeasy, you can become part of the city’s proud literary tradition with a visit to the Writers’ Lounge, or even indulge in a gourmet night-in with sumptuous in-room dining selections. Guests can start the day at Café Pastel with house-baked European-inspired pastries and espresso beverages or rendezvous with friends and colleagues at our effortlessly elegant second-floor restaurant. │A Stay Styled for You│ The interiors spark the conversation. The view sparks the imagination. Dramatic skies and city lights pair with the woodgrain and warm brass that re-imagine mid-century American decor in a thoroughly modern milieu. All the amenities you expect—and some you don’t—lend a curated residential touch to your stay with us in each of our 147 guest rooms & suites. Lastly, no stay with Raffles is complete without the complimentary services of a private butler—unique among North American hotels.
