Raffles Residences Boston marks the iconic hotel brand’s first North American property, setting a new standard of luxury living in the heart of Back Bay. Seamlessly blending heritage with modern sophistication, the design draws from the architectural language of Boston’s historic townhouses while introducing a fresh, globally inspired sensibility.
Residents arrive through grand wood doors into a lobby that evokes the charm of a front porch — lush greenery, a bronze fireplace, and cozy seating. Rich suede walls, marble portals, and ocean blue accents guide residents to an elegant mailroom and elevator lobby. The material palette consisting of chevron oak flooring, dark bronze panels, and water-ripple glass sets a refined, distinctly Bostonian tone.
The wellness level, accessible to both residents and hotel guests, is inspired by the coastal landscape. Soft curves, mother-of-pearl tile, and hand-blown glass lighting with rope detailing bring texture and light to the space. A 20-meter indoor pool glows beneath a mirrored ceiling, while a biophilic fitness room offers city views framed by warm wood and a living plant wall.
On the residential amenity floor, spaces like the Great Room, Tasting Kitchen, and Private Dining Room support both entertaining and everyday living. At its heart lies the Secret Garden — a hidden, plant-filled retreat with organic forms and eclectic lighting that invites moments of quiet escape.
