The Godfrey Feature on The Boston Globe

We’re excited to announce that we were featured in The Boston Globe this weekend. This has been a labor of love for our team, so we are honored that Linda Laban took a behind-the-scenes tour in order to share our finished product with you.

“Nearly half of the white terra cotta tiles that clad the exterior were either severely damaged or missing altogether, The end result is stunning.” – Larry Casillo, General Manager

From the history behind our building and our modern amenities to the vibrancy of Downtown Crossing, Linda perfectly captures everything that personifies the Godfrey style. We could not be happier with the feature and we’re so excited to now be accepting reservations.

Boston Globe Spotlight

We’re pleased to share our feature in The Boston Globe that ran today online.  The article,  “Upscale hotel expected to open in Downtown Crossing this fall,” is the first look inside our hotel, including a photo of one of our guest rooms overlooking Washington Street.

The article states, “It took some imagination to see the dilapidated Blake and Amory building along Washington Street as the future home of a new upscale hotel in downtown Boston.

But the company that bought the historic building two years ago for $23 million has been working to revive it ever since. Construction will continue through the summer and the owners expect the new 242-room Godfrey Hotel Boston to open on the corner of Washington and West streets in the fall.”

The article gives more details on what our hotel design will look like, including:

  • Oak paneling
  • Plenty of couches and coffee tables
  • Porcelain flooring
  • Large windows that open out onto the street.

And, as our General Manager Larry Casillo poignantly said, “What we’re trying to do is happily marry historical grandiose architecture with a modern inside.”

You can see the full article here.

We’ll continue to keep you updated on the progress of our hotel and exciting articles that cover our property.
