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.

InnSpire Partnership Keeps Our Guests Connected

We are excited to announce that we have selected Stockholm-based InnSpire to provide Mobile & IPTV services to all of our guests. In adopting this cutting edge hospitality technology, we are the first U.S. hotel to offer InnSpire services on site.

Each one of our 242 rooms is outfitted with InnSpire’s award-winning “Guest Media Streaming” technology, allowing our guests to use personal mobile devices to stream photos, videos, and music of their choice directly to the 55” HDTV in their room. Simultaneously, guests are able to access hotel amenities such as room service, concierge information, and in-room spa services.

“We want to modernize how travelers view boutique hotels by flipping the paradigm and creating an experience that is completely focused on how people are living today. In partnering with InnSpire, we now have the opportunity to create a guest experience that is authentic and luxurious, allowing access to the familiar comforts of home through advanced technology.” – Larry Casillo, general manager of The Godfrey Hotel Boston.

InnSpire requires no work on the part of our guests: without the downloading of any new app, guests are able to use mobile devices to access hotel services over free hotel Wi-Fi. This simple solution enables guests to access all hotel amenities and services from anywhere in the hotel.

“We are thrilled to partner with The Godfrey Hotel Boston, and look forward to helping the hotel find new ways to make every guest’s stay even more special. InnSpire exists to help hotels better embrace their role as hosts, and to optimise operations through the use of real-time data.” – Martin Chevalle, InnSpire CEO and Co-Founder
