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.

An Exclusive Look Inside

We’re thrilled to share new details and renderings after providing Curbed Boston with a tour of our hotel. Just as the article says, Oxford Capital, our developer, has some “grand plans” for our property, which is detailed in this article.

Media Hard Hat Tour

We conducted our first Media Hard Hat Tour for our Boston property this week. The idea is to give select media contacts a behind-the-scenes look at our property, including a tour of our lobby, rooms and more, all of which are currently under construction.

Larry Casillo, our general manager, led the Media Hard Hat Tour and shared details on the hotel, its progress and the vision. He detailed what Godfrey means, which is “peace and welcome” and why Downtown Crossing is the perfect spot in Boston.

The tour included a look into the much-anticipated guest rooms, which will feature colors of warm grays, accented by natural walnut – all with quality linens, plush carpeting and upholstered seating to make for a most comfortable stay. Many of the guest rooms boast large windows, including some with the original bay windows.

Casillo also shared specifics on the hotel, including the amenities such as the chef-driven restaurant, George Howell Coffee Shop, lobby bar, 24-hour fitness center, free Wi-Fi and state-of-the-art technology.

We’ll keep sharing updates and photos of the property. Stay tuned and let us know if you have questions.

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:

Bringing “Peace and Welcome” to Downtown Crossing

Oxford Capital Group, LLC is developing the next lifestyle hotel of the Godfrey brand in Boston’s Downtown Crossing. With a name that means “peace and welcome,” the hotel is emerging in the historic Amory and Blake buildings (505 Washington Street).

Our hotel is walking distance from Boston Common and a number of shopping destinations in town. In keeping with The Godfrey’s “Discover Your Element” tagline, it encourages guests to discover an element of the hotel that best suits their personalized needs, ranging from the hotel amenities of a chef-driven restaurant, local coffee house, lobby bar, 24-hour fitness center, free Wi-Fi and more.

Our team at Oxford was warmly greeted by our neighbors, the Boston Redevelopment Authority, our partners in the Downtown Boston Improvement District (BID) and the entire Boston community.
