Raffles Boston: Redefining Luxury in the Heart of Back Bay

Raffles Boston Hotel and Residences is a groundbreaking development that transformed Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood into a hallmark of luxury and sophistication. Spanning 400,000 SF within a striking 35-story high-rise, this project redefines the Boston experience.

Nestled on a 13,000 SF site that once housed the Boston Common Hotel and Conference Center, Raffles Boston introduces the first 6-Star hotel in the United States, a distinction further highlighted by its Michelin Two-Key rating. This development redefines luxury hospitality, upholding the esteemed standards of Raffles Hotels, renowned across Asia and Europe for their gracious service, refined elegance, and unparalleled luxury. 

Alongside the hotel, the Raffles Boston Residences consist of extraordinary condominiums and penthouses with private amenities and sweeping views of the Back Bay and South End neighborhoods. Dining options are equally exceptional, featuring Michelin-starred restaurant Amar, La Padrona by James Beard award-winning chef Jody Adams, and the famed Raffles Long Bar and Terrace. 

Guests and residents alike are treated to personalized services, with a strong emphasis on wellness. The Guerlain Spa at Raffles Hotel offers an oasis of tranquility, complete with fitness facilities, a sauna, a hammam, and a stunning 20-meter saltwater pool.

Honoring Boston’s Rich Heritage

Boston’s storied past has profoundly influenced the United States, and Raffles Boston pays tribute to this legacy. The design captures the city’s passionate, curious, and welcoming spirit, creating a refined residential atmosphere that resonates with the historic and cultural fabric of the area. Artistic elements and sculptural designs incorporate materials and patterns that reflect Boston’s architectural heritage, including copper accents that honor Paul Revere’s historic craftsmanship.

A Vision of Elegance and Sustainability

Committed to sustainability and community integration, Raffles Boston respects the architectural heritage of the Back Bay while seamlessly introducing modern elegance. This project enhances Boston’s vibrant cultural landscape, creating not just a destination but a symbol of luxury, innovation, and community engagement.
