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:

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.

We will continue to keep you updated across all our social channels, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram – check them out for ongoing updates as well. More exciting news coming, including contests and giveaways!

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.
