Godfrey Hotel – Page 5 – Building The Godfrey

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.

We’re getting closer to our opening, so continue to check 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.
