Raffles Boston is a new mixed-use luxury tower in Back Bay, the first Raffles in North America, beside Back Bay Station and within a block of Trinity Church and Copley Place. The design, by Stonehill Taylor, draws on Boston’s Emerald Necklace, with botanical and copper touches, across rooms in Deluxe, Premier and Grand categories and 30 suites, all with signature Raffles butler service, gathered around a dramatic multi-storey sky lobby. Dining runs from the all-day Long Bar & Terrace and the Italian, Michelin-recommended La Padrona to the speakeasy Blind Duck and the grab-and-go Cafe Pastel. The Guerlain Spa has treatment suites, a 20-metre indoor pool, a vitality pool, sauna and steam, and there is a fitness centre and a 19th-floor ballroom. It suits couples and travellers who want a brand-new, design-led tower with butler service, strong dining and a spa in Back Bay.
