Boston is a city that’s easy to fall in love with — a place where rich history, leafy streets, and world-class dining all come together. On our recent stay at Raffles Boston, we discovered that it’s also a perfect base for families who want both luxury and convenience.
From the moment we arrived, the impeccable service set the tone. Every interaction felt genuine, warm, and thoughtful — the kind of care that makes parents instantly relax, knowing everyone is being looked after.
Space for Everyone
Families will love the connecting room options, which mean you can spread out without feeling separated. Whether it’s giving teens their own space or creating a comfortable setup for younger children, Raffles Boston makes it easy to feel at home.
Dining for All Tastes
With multiple restaurants and bars, there’s something for every mood and appetite:
-
Long Bar & Terrace became a family favorite, an all-day dining restaurant with a stunning outdoor terrace.
-
Café Pastel is ideal for quick bites before heading out to explore.
-
La Padrona is still on our list for next time — because sometimes, leaving something to look forward to is part of the fun.
-
Amar – Mediterranean-inspired dinner menu crafted with local seafaring ingredients. Raffles Afternoon Tea is served Thursday to Sunday.
- The Blind Duck — a hidden gem of a speakeasy bar where we savored the iconic Raffles Singapore Sling.
Exploring Boston Together
The hotel’s prime Back Bay location made it easy to explore the city on foot. We took in the sights, from the historic charm of Acorn Street — often called one of America’s most beautiful streets — to the energy of Fenway Park, where we enjoyed a fascinating behind-the-scenes tour of the legendary ballpark.
Extra Touches That Make a Stay Special
Two highlights stood out for all of us:
-
The 20-meter indoor pool — perfect for a morning swim, a post-sightseeing splash, or simply unwinding together.
-
The beautifully designed mini-bar cabinet, stocked with local spirits (for the grown-ups!) and treats, and even the option to visit the nearby distillery.
But there’s more; make sure to book a pampering treatment at their world-class Guerlain Spa.
