The Other Things – A Video

We created a short and sentimental video to showcase what makes Boston great: Endurance, hard work and brilliant minds.

The Godfrey Hotel is proud to call the city of Boston home starting in the fall of 2015. We encourage travelers to visit to the “city upon a hill” to Discover Your Element.

Take a look at our YouTube video:

Installing the Guest Room Carpet

Exciting times here!  We recently hit the 10-week countdown mark, which means we’re nearing the end of our construction work and we’re furthering the interior design. For us, the true sign of rounding the corner and being in the home stretch was the carpets going down in the guest rooms.

All 242 of our guest rooms will be outfitted with plush gray-and-white carpet from Clayton Miller Hospitality Carpets, adding a cozy touch to the modern and sophisticated decor. The neutral colors and patterns allow the other pieces in the rooms to really pop. We’ve worked closely with the talented team at Gettys Worldwide on our interior design.

Keep checking back for more progress updates as we get closer to our opening later this fall.

 

Improper Bostonian’s Party

Last night we had the honor of sponsoring Improper Bostonian’s rooftop party at Troy, one of Boston’s hottest new apartment complexes in the South End.

Enjoying a beautiful night on the Troy rooftop.

It was a wonderful night filled with good company, gorgeous weather and breathtaking views of the Boston skyline. The delicious food was catered from A Catered Affair. We could have not asked for a better night and we look forward to celebrating more with the Boston community.

Stay tuned for more details about our opening in the near future.

#FreeBrady

If you’ve paid any attention to local Boston news in the past several months, you’ll know that the Deflategate drama is still going strong. As the court hearings continue, local Patriots fans (and even some members of our team included) are calling for the NFL to #FreeBrady.

#FreeBrady

In order to show our support of Brady and the Patriots, we created #FreeBrady t-shirts and handed them out to friends of The Godfrey for them to wear around town. If you were one of the lucky ones, you can enter our giveaway for a chance to win a free night’s stay with us.  Simply share a photo of yourself wearing the shirt around town on social media and tagging us in the photo along with #FreeBrady. You can find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.  Our management will pick one winner at random.

We look forward to seeing everyone’s photos and the day when the NFL announces the end of Deflategate and Brady is free of this.

Good luck to all those who enter!
