About
From up here, you don’t just see Boston—you feel it. The history that sparked a revolution. The intellect and energy flowing through bustling squares, bookshops, and bistros. The skyline hinting at even bolder horizons ahead. Seventeen stories above the brownstones and tree-lined streets of Back Bay, surrounded by the sky lobby’s sweeping windows at Raffles Boston, the experience begins to take shape—and that’s only the arrival. Perfectly situated in Back Bay, Boston’s cultural epicenter, Raffles Boston places you moments from Fenway Park, the Museum of Fine Arts, Faneuil Hall, world-renowned universities, and the city’s most iconic historic landmarks. Celebrate in style across our dynamic event venues on the 17th, 18th and 19th floors. Host an unforgettable occasion in the Raffles Main Ballroom, where panoramic views of the Charles River create a quintessential Boston backdrop. For more intimate gatherings, our Neruda Boardroom, Malraux and Michener Meeting Rooms, and sunlit pre-function spaces offer flexibility and sophistication. Every event is supported by advanced audio-visual technology and a dedicated team focused on flawless execution. Long Bar & Terrace features refined takes on New England classics from day to night, while Blind Duck invites you into a hidden speakeasy experience with expertly crafted cocktails. Embrace Boston’s literary spirit in the Writers’ Lounge or enjoy gourmet in-room dining from the comfort of your suite. Begin your mornings at Café Pastel with house-made European pastries and espresso or gather effortlessly at our elegant second-floor restaurant. Each of our 147 guest rooms and suites is thoughtfully designed to inspire. Warm woodgrain, polished brass, and contemporary interpretations of mid-century American style create an inviting, residential feel, enhanced by sweeping views of the city skyline. With a curated collection of amenities—and the rare distinction of complimentary private butler service—every stay at Raffles Boston is tailored to feel both personal and exceptional.
