I had the privilege of staying here with my family during our first trip to Boston (1208, 8/13-8/20). The hotel is absolutely breathtaking! The decor, the fresh flowers, fitness center, spa, food, scent, but most importantly the service was pure excellence. A few people made our stay one to remember. Our butler Kieran and his team assisted with every request and exceeded expectations with the subtle surprises, attention to detail and quick responses. PJ Morrison from the Front Office team assisted by answering my questions even before I arrived. Louise & Thomas from Spa made our family getaway even more relaxing. Our Room Attendants kept the room spotless and the turndown service was a nice touch after long days of sightseeing. Lastly, Jason’s and the hostess (apologies for forgetting the name, she is from Spain) anticipatory service with a smile was a treat every morning while we had breakfast at Long Bar. Thank you to everyone for making our experience one to remember. Bravo to the Raffles team for having a truly luxurious product in the city. Read less

2 stays a month apart, once with the whole family- and each visit was EXQUISITE. I came directly from Montreux Palace in Switzerland to Raffles Boston and can say the service was as exceptional or maybe even BETTER. The Butler service makes things effortless, the decor is gorgeous, the food is great, the LOCATION is unbeatable. Bath products are Guerlain, the spa likewise. The fitness studio is LOADED with top of the line equipment and wall to ceiling windows overlooking the city. If I must give a demerit, it would be the service at breakfast in the LongBar (which is stunning btw). I was approached by a server who said not one word and gave only the GenZ stare. Weird. But, that’s often the case in any hotel as restaurant service staff is not always to their hiring and training and it’s quite hard to find exceptional servers anywhere. Highlights staff: Valet, Cafe, Spa - I dropped my coffee one morning waiting for my car and the valet ran and replaced it. Amazing! I will ONLY stay at Raffles in Boston in the future. In fact, we are now considering the residences because the service is so great, the location so central, and the amenities are top notch. LOVED IT. Read less

Fantastic hotel in great location - bedrooms and bathrooms are a delight and beds so very comfortable. Gym and pool very well equipped. Every member of staff so well trained and carry the brand so well. Our only niggles would be the noise of the room fan and slower service for breakfast… but neither are dealbreakers.

We recently stayed at Raffles in Boston and had the most incredible experience. This hotel is true luxury. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The location is in Back Bay and walking distance a lot of great restaurants. I would like to mention that Kristiana, Jairo and our butler Rory went above and beyond to make right an issue we were having with our AC in the room. We will definitely be back and can’t recommend this hotel enough! Read less
