The first Raffles hotel in North America will open its doors in mid-2023 in Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood. Part of the world-leading hospitality group Accor, Raffles Boston Back Bay Hotel & Residences features a stunning three-story sky lobby that is the first of its kind in the city. The 35-story building offers a unique collection of 147 guestrooms and 146 residences, with pied-a-terre suites, one- to three-bedroom homes, and exquisite penthouses.
The property’s guestrooms and residences are joined by 16 distinct gathering spaces, including a variety of special venues dedicated solely to residents. Highlights within the 16 gathering spaces include six food and beverage venues, a three-story Sky Lobby perched high above Copley Square, a state-of-the-art Raffles Spa, a 20-meter indoor pool and fitness center, a beautiful rooftop garden terrace lounge, a variety of intimate residents-only gathering places, and a ballroom with expansive views over the Charles River.
Raffles Boston Back Bay Residences will offer an unrivaled residential experience. Residents will enjoy preferred access to all the attentive services provided by Raffles Boston Back Bay, including exclusive membership in the resident-only tier of the company’s guest recognition and loyalty program, which features VIP status and access to special benefits within the AccorHotels portfolio.
The first Raffles hotel in North America is expected to provide over $22 million in public benefits in total, including street and public realm improvements, seven on-site affordable housing units, and a contribution of over $13 million that will support additional affordable housing in Boston.
