#FreeBrady

If you’ve paid any attention to local Boston news in the past several months, you’ll know that the Deflategate drama is still going strong. As the court hearings continue, local Patriots fans (and even some members of our team included) are calling for the NFL to #FreeBrady.

#FreeBrady

In order to show our support of Brady and the Patriots, we created #FreeBrady t-shirts and handed them out to friends of The Godfrey for them to wear around town. If you were one of the lucky ones, you can enter our giveaway for a chance to win a free night’s stay with us.  Simply share a photo of yourself wearing the shirt around town on social media and tagging us in the photo along with #FreeBrady. You can find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.  Our management will pick one winner at random.

We look forward to seeing everyone’s photos and the day when the NFL announces the end of Deflategate and Brady is free of this.

Good luck to all those who enter!

The Great Collaboration

Opening a hotel doesn’t happen overnight, especially when the building requires extensive construction and design to make it happen.  Led by Oxford Hotels and Resorts, our hotel has a collaborative effort of skilled and experienced teams to make the opening of the next Godfrey Hotel a success.

The team includes:

  • Oxford Capital Group and Oxford Hotels and Resorts, LLC as the lead developer and hotel management.
  • Finegold Alexander Architects – Their firm specializes in restoration of historical buildings, which is perfect for our building to preserve some of its historical character that dates back to the early 1900s.
  • Tishman Construction Corp of MA – Headquartered in Boston, this team leads our construction of the two buildings becoming one hotel.
  • GETTYS – They will lead our interior design and design architecture.  The global firm is a powerhouse in interior design with a perfect mixture of style, luxury and comfort for our hotel.
  • McNamara/Salva, Inc – They are our trusted partners in structural engineering.
  • Howard/Stein-Hudson Associates, Inc. – They are the civil engineers with a specialty in complex projects.

In addition, we are thrilled to collaborate and work with the great city of Boston and the Boston Redevelopment Authority.
