Happening in Downtown Crossing

As we’ve discussed before, there is no shortage of things to do, eat and see in Downtown Crossing. And with each passing day, there seems to be something new popping up – a new shop, play or update to the ongoing neighborhood development.

Take for example Downtown Crossing’s newest shopping addition – Primark. This Irish clothing retailer opened its doors in early September for the first time ever in Boston. It also happens to be the very first U.S. location as well. Yet another reason Boston’s Downtown Crossing continues to boom and spark interest with businesses and guests alike.

Our neighbor Millennium Tower also had something to celebrate recently. Their team worked tirelessly for the past two years and announced that they are now at 90 percent and had reached their “topping off.” You can see all of their photos from the “topping off” celebration on their Facebook page.

And if you’re looking for something to do in the neighborhood this weekend, you don’t have to look far. You can secure tickets to a performance of the Boston Ballet’s Third Symphony of Gustav Mahler and the Actors’ Shakespeare Project’s Othello or attend a live taping of America’s Got Talent.

Things are always changing in our neighborhood, so make sure to keep coming back for more updates.

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

Cleaning Up Nicely

After a long day exploring Downtown Crossing and the rest of Boston, you can enjoy a night in by slipping into your robe and unwinding in our luxurious guest bathrooms.

We know how important having the space and amenities to properly relax while also feeling at home is to our guests, so we’ve built the guest rooms to incorporate:

Heeley bath products and Frette robes in each room
Large walk-in showers with glass doors
Extra counter space for all your toiletries and beauty necessities
Ample lighting built into the mirrors above the sinks

Our sole goal is to ensure the comfort and enjoyment of our guests during their stay, and the en-suite bathrooms are a key piece to that success.

Make sure to keep coming back for additional updates as we near our opening day.

Installing the Guest Room Carpet

Exciting times here! We recently hit the 10-week countdown mark, which means we’re nearing the end of our construction work and we’re furthering the interior design. For us, the true sign of rounding the corner and being in the home stretch was the carpets going down in the guest rooms.

All 242 of our guest rooms will be outfitted with plush gray-and-white carpet from Clayton Miller Hospitality Carpets, adding a cozy touch to the modern and sophisticated decor. The neutral colors and patterns allow the other pieces in the rooms to really pop. We’ve worked closely with the talented team at Gettys Worldwide on our interior design.

Keep checking back for more progress updates as we get closer to our opening later this fall.

Improper Bostonian’s Party

Last night we had the honor of sponsoring Improper Bostonian’s rooftop party at Troy, one of Boston’s hottest new apartment complexes in the South End.

It was a wonderful night filled with good company, gorgeous weather and breathtaking views of the Boston skyline. The delicious food was catered from A Catered Affair. We could have not asked for a better night and we look forward to celebrating more with the Boston community.

Stay tuned for more details about our opening in the near future.
