Discover Your Element – Building The Godfrey

New Contest – Discover Your Element

When traveling, you want to stay “in your element.” You want to feel like yourself. At The Godfrey Hotel, we encourage you to “Discover Your Element” – whether that be working out, relaxing, dining, shopping and more.

What makes you feel “in your element”? Today, we’re launching a new contest and asking you to share how you “Discover Your Element.” At The Godfrey, we understand life requires us to live outside our comfort zone; outside our element. Our aim is to give our guests a rare spot where they feel entirely at ease.

To enter, share a photo of how you Discover Your Element. Post the photo to our Facebook page, Twitter (@GodfreyBoston) or Instagram (@GodfreyBoston) with hashtag #DiscoverYourElement for a chance to win a 2-night stay at The Godfrey Hotel Boston.

We’ll also be sharing “inspiration photos” as well – stay tuned to our social media channels all week. You’re welcome to submit more than one photo – a selfie or a photo- to this contest to enter. Full rules and details below:

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.

Drum roll please! The winners from our Name the Element Contest are below. Congratulations to the three winners and thank you to all who participated. The Godfrey Hotel Chicago will help travelers and guests from near and far “Discover Your Element.”

As illustrated in the graphic below, the new winning element is “Do 139” – Defy Ordinary by Michele Barnes. We loved her reasoning as well:

Not only does it capture the essence of the new hotel’s unique design, but it encourages people to think outside the box when it comes to travel and life.

As the first place winner, she will receive one complimentary night, plus a great (and discounted) rate of just $139/night plus tax for all of 2014 (some restrictions and blackout dates apply) and a $25 gift card to I|O Urban Roofscape.

Our second place winner Fred Miller, Jr. will receive a one-night complimentary stay (some restrictions and blackout dates apply). He submitted “Ul 139” for Urban Luxury.

Our third place winner Natalya Goncharov will get a $25 gift card to I|O Urban Roofscape. She submitted “Hl 139” for High Life.

We’ll contact all three winners via email. Thank you again for participating!
