The first Raffles Hotel in North America

by Oliver Lind, Hotel Researcher
Raffles Boston opened its doors last Friday in Boston's Back Bay, introducing North America's first Raffles-branded mixed-use development.


The 35-story hotel has 147 guestrooms and a variety of opulent gathering spaces. Omer Acar, CEO of Raffles & Orient Express, has expressed his delight at extending the legendary Raffles brand to the Americas with Raffles Boston.
 

Raffles Boston has a three-story Sky Lobby and Grand Stair, four distinct dining venues, and a Writer's Lounge made famous by esteemed writers and poets. The fourth floor has a modern gym, a 20-meter indoor pool, and the prestigious Guerlain Spa. 

The hotel is within walking distance of Boston's famous sights like Copley Square, Trinity Church, the Prudential Center, Fenway Park, and the Museum of Fine Arts, as well as dozens of restaurants, bars, and cafes.
