guest room – Building The Godfrey

A Virtual Walk Through Our Hotel

We hope you’re as excited as we are for the opening of The Godfrey Hotel Boston this fall. We are working hard with our talented team focused on the construction, interior and exterior design, marketing and more to make the opening of our hotel a success. We’re happy to share updates along the way, including a handful of interior renderings that give you a virtual sneak peek into our hotel.

First, when you walk into our hotel, one of the first things you’ll notice is our front desk in the lobby. We want the lobby to feel welcoming and peaceful, just as the exact meaning of what The Godfrey stands for. Below is a rendering of our front desk and even more important will be the welcoming team members who help our guests upon arrival and checkout. We believe each guest should feel an experience of surprise and delight when they arrive.

Next, we have two renderings to share of the hotel guest room and the guest bathroom. For the guest rooms, we want the rooms to continue the luxurious look and feel of our hotel. The guest room has a sophisticated air that aligns with our guests’ expectations as we welcome our world travelers. The refined color palette of warm grays, accented by natural walnut, will act as a tranquil envelop with dashes of color. Custom carpeting, quality bedding and upholstered seating will evoke the refinement and comfort of a well-tailored suit, or perhaps a well-tailored custom suit. Many guest rooms have large windows that provide natural light and the original bay windows are in many of the hotel rooms as well.

Last, many guests value the quality of the bathroom and we completely agree. From ample lighting for getting ready or makeup application to luxurious bath products, we hope guests have a comfortable and convenient stay with us.

Sneak Peek into our Hotel Rooms

We know and understand that a luxurious and comfortable room is critical when traveling, whether it be for business or leisure. That’s why we took great attention and care to the interior design of our rooms.

As a sneak peek into the guest rooms, we will continue the sophisticated feel that is present in our Chicago property’s rooms. Our rooms will have a refined color palette of warm grays, accented by natural walnut. The color palette will be relaxing and welcoming. Custom carpeting, quality bedding and upholstered seating will evoke the refinement and comfort of a well-tailored suite.

What’s more – large windows will flood guest rooms with natural light. Plus rooms with original bay windows will provide an added, dramatic view to the bustling street scene below.

Sound idyllic and luxurious? You be the judge when we open this fall.

Here’s a sneak peek at our room:

Q&A with Gettys Design Director Chris McDonough

Chris McDonough is Design Director at The Gettys Group, leading interior design for the guest rooms at The Godfrey Hotel Chicago. We spoke to him about where he started with the project, and about how he wanted guests to feel when they arrived at the hotel.

The Gettys Group Design Director Chris McDonough created an urban sanctuary when designing guest rooms at The Godfrey Hotel Chicago.

Q: What are some of your favorite features in the guest rooms?

A: From a guest experience and emotional response, my favorite aspect of the guest room is the overall feeling of sophisticated calm that the space provides. The subtle variance in the shower tile finish is a hidden design element that the guest can discover.

Q: Where did you start when designing the rooms? Or, what was the inspiration?

A: The boldness and the strength of the exterior architecture was obviously a design parameter that we had to consider. When considering the guest room design, our goal was to compliment the unique exterior but also provide an urban sanctuary for the guest from the energy of River North.

Q: What do you want guests to feel when they stay at The Godfrey Hotel Chicago?

A: We would like the guest to feel stylish and sophisticated, and that they have found a hidden, unique gem within the crowded Chicago hotel market.
