    The Story Continues in Boston

At Home in Boston, Cultivated Around the World

Step through a door and into a beautiful story. There is a sense of magic and myth evoked by the Raffles name, which began as an oasis at the crossroads of Eastern and Western worlds, a respite for travelers, writers, and luminaries of every era.

From Singapore to the Back Bay, the same stories connect us, their lines familiar and well loved: the emblematic Traveler’s Palm is the symbol of our oasis. Let yourself ease into the familiar comforts that distinguish Raffles properties around the world.

The Shaping of Traditions

Gestures of kindness are the grace notes of our days.

For more than a century, Raffles has welcomed travelers, explorers, and friends with a generosity of spirit and graceful hospitality that have become our hallmarks.

Raffles Hotel exterior

Raffles Began As A Dream …

… to create a place where travelers, literati, luminaries and locals could gather, exchange ideas and be inspired.‍

Today we are an influential, progressive hotel brand. Fusing illustrious heritage with modern hotel craft to create elegant landmark addresses in tune with our well-traveled guests’ contemporary lifestyles.

Places where curious explorers are invited to make new discoveries in their own time. Where travelers receive a generous and gracious welcome, arriving as guests, leaving as friends and returning as family.

Today, conscious of all that connects us as humans, the dream lives on. To build a legacy of enrichment and inspiration for new generations of hoteliers, citizens and explorers.

“To have been young and had a room at Raffles was life at its best.”

- James A. Michener
