Boston neighborhood – Building The Godfrey

Rooted in History

With any great hotel restoration project, you need to take careful consideration into the history of the building and its surroundings. We’re doing just that in the development of our Boston property.

The Godfrey Boston will emerge from the historic Amory and Blake buildings in the Downtown Crossing neighborhood. It’s a unique area with unique buildings to go along with it. Of course, we want to preserve that. The transformation of both the Blake and Amory buildings is exciting – they were are the epicenter of Boston’s main shopping district originally. Many of the early tenants were fabric and garment trade outlets with the lower floors being different retail locations.

Bringing “Peace and Welcome” to Downtown Crossing

Oxford Capital Group, LLC is developing the next lifestyle hotel of the Godfrey brand in Boston’s Downtown Crossing. With a name that means “peace and welcome,” the hotel is emerging in the historic Amory and Blake buildings (505 Washington Street).

Our hotel is walking distance from Boston Common and a number of shopping destinations in town. In keeping with The Godfrey’s “Discover Your Element” tagline, it encourages guests to discover an element of the hotel that best suits their personalized needs, ranging from the hotel amenities of a chef-driven restaurant, local coffee house, lobby bar, 24-hour fitness center, free Wi-Fi and more.

Our team at Oxford was warmly greeted by our neighbors, the Boston Redevelopment Authority, our partners in the Downtown Boston Improvement District (BID) and the entire Boston community.
