Raffles Boston—Raffles Hotel’s first North American property since the luxury brand opened its first flagship property in Singapore in 1887—is a new hybrid condo-hotel located in the city’s stately Back Bay neighborhood. Rockwell Group designed the residential units and amenities, as well as the shared wellness amenities on the 4th floor for both residents and hotel guests.
Rockwell Group took inspiration from Boston’s famed Emerald Necklace, the system of parks connected by the city’s parkways and waterways conceived by Frederick Law Olmstead in the late 1800s. A palette of emerald green, cobalt blue, wood washed in pale grey, and opalescent glass evoke the parks and the sea, but with a modern twist.
The pool area features floor to ceiling windows with views of Boston. Opalescent globe glass lights rest on geometric dark metal frames floating above the pool.
Health & Wellness Amenities
The 4th floor of Raffles Boston is dedicated to health and wellness amenities shared by condo residents and hotel guests. A spa provides guests with a relaxation lounge, treatment rooms, a sauna, and steam room.
Residential amenities on the 21st floor include the "Secret Garden," a greenhouse-like room with elegant, organic forms and eclectic fixtures; a walnut paneled Great Room that opens to a terrace with magnificent views of the Boston sky; a verandah-style tasting kitchen and private dining room; and a lively club room with pool and parlor games.
