Guest Room Details

A few weeks ago, we hosted a couple of hard hat media tours where we toured the lobby, the George Howell space and the guest rooms. As we near our opening date this winter, it was exciting to show our guests the details in the guest rooms as they come together.

Following shows some of the extra details in our rooms to create a luxurious experience for our future guests.

The Frette linens and Heeley bath products make the rooms comfortable for our guests, while the decor makes them a relaxing oasis from the fast-paced energy of Downtown Crossing.

We can’t wait to welcome our first overnight guests to stay in our rooms come opening day this winter. Keep checking back for more updates as we get closer.

A New Tour with BLDUP

Always a busy time when you’re preparing for the opening of a hotel. We were thrilled to offer a tour this week to Gil Propp of BLDUP, a leading site for construction and real estate development. We shared a sneak peek at our rooms, the lobby and the latest updates on our hotel.

Throughout the tour, Propp took a number of excellent photos that we’re pleased to share below. With every glimpse into our hotel, you can see the fast progress being made as we near completion.

Two Hard Hat Tours in Two Days

This week we hosted two hard hat tours with local media and social media influencers. You might remember that we hosted our first hard hat tour in May, and as you can imagine, a lot of progress has been made to the hotel since then. We’re thrilled to be getting even closer to our opening.

Paul Sauceda, our Director of Sales and Marketing, led the tour and shared information on the history of our building, construction updates and details surrounding our upcoming opening. The groups toured the hotel lobby, George Howell Coffee Shop, restaurant space, historically-preserved elevator lobby and fifth-floor guest rooms.

Air It Out

You most likely don’t think about air that often, but it’s something we put a lot of thought into while building The Godfrey Boston. We want to make sure our guests are as comfortable as possible during their stay, and we think that being able to adjust the temperature of their room to their liking is key.

To ensure that each room could deliver, we knew we needed to have the infrastructure in place. We planned for one compressor to every six guest rooms. That means that there are about 50 compressors lining our roof. Each guest can control the hot and cool air in their room using the high-tech Toshiba panels.

We’re getting closer to our opening, so continue to check back for more updates.

Happening in Downtown Crossing

As we’ve discussed before, there is no shortage of things to do, eat and see in Downtown Crossing. And with each passing day, there seems to be something new popping up – a new shop, play or update to the ongoing neighborhood development.

Take for example Downtown Crossing’s newest shopping addition – Primark. This Irish clothing retailer opened its doors in early September for the first time ever in Boston. It also happens to be the very first U.S. location as well. Yet another reason Boston’s Downtown Crossing continues to boom and spark interest with businesses and guests alike.

Our neighbor Millennium Tower also had something to celebrate recently. Their team worked tirelessly for the past two years and announced that they are now at 90 percent and had reached their “topping off.” You can see all of their photos from the “topping off” celebration on their Facebook page.

And if you’re looking for something to do in the neighborhood this weekend, you don’t have to look far. You can secure tickets to a performance of the Boston Ballet’s Third Symphony of Gustav Mahler and the Actors’ Shakespeare Project’s Othello or attend a live taping of America’s Got Talent.

Things are always changing in our neighborhood, so make sure to keep coming back for more updates.
