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.
What better way to start the New Year than with a little traveling? Frette, the makers of our luxurious guest room linens, is holding an incredible sweepstakes for a chance to win a two-night stay with us – plus, you get to take home a fabulous sheet set and duvet cover.
Frette is a favorite of ours because their linens deliver quality luxury and sophistication at the same time. Our General Manager, Larry Cassillo, said, “When it came to linens, it was almost a natural fit in selecting the best product we could possibly choose: Frette Linens.” We’re also honored to be featured as their Hotel of the Month.
Excited? So are we. All you have to do is enter for a chance to win here.
The contest ends on Sunday, Jan. 10, 2016. And remember, the more Facebook friends you refer to the contest, the more entries you will receive for yourself. You can enter through Frette’s Facebook page – simply click here.
Good luck and Happy New Year! We hope to see you in Boston in 2016.
Drumroll please! We asked you to show us your Boston Strong pride and you delivered! After looking at so many passionate and enthusiastic photos, we have a winner for our #GoGodfrey Contest. We loved seeing photos of Fenway Park, Boston Common, Boston Harbor and more!
Congratulations to Marlon C. for his award-winning photo he captured of the Boston Harbor. Marlon said he took this photo from the “Spirit of Boston” cruise ship on his birthday last year. Turns out he received a belated present from us!
Marlon wins a roundtrip flight to Chicago and a two-night stay at The Godfrey Hotel Chicago, which is located in the city’s trendy River North neighborhood. We can’t wait to hear all about Marlon’s trip and see future photos from him.
Congrats again Marlon! Thank you to all who participated in the contest. We’ll have more contests coming up with exciting prizes – stay tuned!
