Summary: The staff was fantastic!! From Meredith at the front desk to Maxwell as our butler to the doormen and Steven the bellhop… cannot wait to come back and spend several days enjoying the amenities of the hotel!!

Summary: Raffles Boston delivers what true luxury is supposed to feel like—effortless, intuitive, and deeply personal from the very first moment. Check-in on the 17th floor was seamless and genuinely warm, setting the tone for an exceptional stay the second we arrived. The butler service was outstanding—anticipating needs before we even had to ask and handling everything from dining reservations to special requests with quiet precision and grace. The food and cocktails throughout the property were exceptional. Every venue felt elevated, but breakfast at the Long Bar deserves special mention—beautifully prepared, thoughtful, and a perfect start to each day. Housekeeping was next-level: stealthy, meticulous, and almost invisible. The suite was always immaculate without ever feeling disrupted. Evening turndown service was equally impressive—elegant, comforting, and perfectly timed, making coming back to the room feel like returning to a private sanctuary. The amenities throughout the hotel are world-class, from wellness to in-room comforts, and the concierge team made securing reservations and experiences in Boston effortless. If you’re considering whether the suites are worth it—absolutely invest in them. The space, privacy, service, and elevated experience take an already incredible hotel to another level entirely. Raffles Boston isn’t just a luxury hotel—it’s hospitality at its finest. We will absolutely return.

Summary: Celebrated my 60th in style! Everything was superb! Highly recommend. It wouldn’t be my first pick if I had small children. More adult oriented.

Summary: Overall, my husband & I enjoyed our stay at the Raffles -- but we weren't thrilled with the level of service we received. Specifically: - We checked in late (~11pm) due to a train delay, and the front desk informed us that our "butler" would reach out the next morning to introduce various services, etc. That never happened, which was disappointing because butler service is a Raffles staple that we were looking forward to experiencing. - Upon getting to our room, which was otherwise lovely, it became clear that the touchscreen-enabled lighting system had malfunctioned. This meant we could only have ALL the lights in the room (+ bathroom) 100% on or 100% off -- no in-between (and no dimming, etc). I alerted the front desk immediately, who offered to send an engineer "within an hour or so" -- but at that point it was nearly 12am, and we were too exhausted to wait so we declined. No one ever followed up with us or offered a solution to the issue, which grew increasingly annoying throughout our stay (e.g., I had to use my phone light to use the bathroom at night because the only other option would have been to turn ALL of the lights on 100% (and wakeup my husband). The issue also extended to the "request service" vs. "privacy please" button, so we had no way of requesting (or denying) maid service. - My husband & I celebrated our anniversary on this trip, and I let the hotel know in advance (hoping for at least a card or little treat) -- but this went 100% unacknowleged.

Summary: Fabulous hotel. Beautiful views from the lobby floor.
William Oct 7, 2025 08:31:23 AM
Summary: I wish the water was hotter, had to ask to have room cleaned after 1st day as housekeeping did not come. Very responsive though when inquiries made.

Summary: Butler service was excellent.
