Boston – Page 3 – Building The Godfrey

A Boston Staycation

Over Valentine’s Day weekend, we hosted Style-Wire for a romantic staycation. Her review of our hotel shows just how much fun she had while staying with us, and her photos are certainly worth sharing.

Following are a few excepts from the review:

The Godfrey is super tech friendly with complimentary wi-fi, smart TVs (log into your Netflix account and chill!), and rechargeable Bluetooth speakers in every room. Obviously once my Valentine arrived we did what any other couple would do and binge watched Nurse Jackie on Netflix and ordered late night pizza from New York Pizza while munching on chocolate and sipping champagne. Perfect evening if you ask me!

We love Elissa’s recap of her overnight stay, which you can read entirety here, but we’re head over heels in love with the photos she shared. The photos capture her love for travel as she took advantage of our in-room amenities. We’ve shared some of our favorites above, but you can check out the rest on our Facebook page or in Elissa’s post.

We love hearing about our guests’ stays and we look forward to hosting you in the future.

Social Media Honors

We are excited to have successfully opened our second hotel under The Godfrey’s brand and thrilled with the warm reception we’ve received in the Downtown Crossing neighborhood.

Yesterday, we received more exciting news that our hotel is a finalist in the prestigious 8th Annual Shorty Awards, honoring our social media work. Our recognition in the hospitality category of the awards is a great honor and we’re excited to share our entry with you here. We highlighted details about this very blog and the reason we like giving our partners and guests a behind-the-scenes look at our hotel. We also shared our social media efforts we conducted leading up to and during our Boston opening.

As background, the Shorty Awards honor the best social media campaigns across many industries. You can see more about the awards on their website.

Thank you to all who have followed along in our journey from brand creation to opening our doors in both Chicago and Boston. And of course, thank you to the Shorty Awards for recognizing us.

Downtown Crossing: Past | Present | Future

We’ve discussed before how proud we are to be a part of such a historic, vibrant neighborhood. Downtown Crossing has experienced many different personalities over the years, and we’re honored to be a part of the current revitalization that is bringing commerce and residents back to this neighborhood.

The team at Boston Virtual Imaging created a great 5-minute video highlighting and discussing the change that is currently underway in Downtown Crossing, which features one of our own team members.

“You’ve got something interesting going on all of the time,” said Paul Sauceda, The Godfrey Hotel Boston Director of Sales and Marketing. “There are offices in the day, but there is theater and restaurants and nightlife at night.”

Thank you to Boston Visual Imaging for including us in this video and thank you to our neighbors for welcoming us to Downtown Crossing.

We’re so excited to grow with you.

#GodfreyStyle

Following last week’s opening celebrations – the ribbon cutting and evening reception – we are excited to share an extended look inside of our hotel.

We invested a lot into the refurbishment of our two historical buildings, so creating a design and environment that honored our past while looking to the future was of the utmost importance to our team. We worked closely with The Gettys Group on our interior design. Gettys is an international interior design, branding, consulting and procurement firm and they paid close attention to many of the unique and convenient touches in our luxurious rooms. We believe we achieved a look that boasts both modern and peaceful interiors, but we know that our guests are the true judge of our success.

We hope you enjoyed taking a sneak peek and we hope to host you in the near future. Share photos during your stay with #GodfreyStyle.

Opening Celebrations: The Evening Reception

Following our Wednesday morning ribbon cutting ceremony, we hosted an evening receptions for our neighbors, friends and guests.

Our friends at Yvonne’s catered our food and beverage, our partner at George Howell Coffee shared up a sampling of coffee-based beverages and DJ Liz Ladoux made sure the music was flowing all night long.

It was the perfect ending to a momentous and exciting day, and we couldn’t be more honored to be a part of such a vibrant neighborhood. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.
