Stonehill Taylor's design for Raffles Boston Back Bay Hotel incorporates Boston's cultural heritage through botanical narratives, inspired by the city's historic landmarks.
The hotel features a botanical motif starting from street level, showcasing a grand staircase leading to the reception area on the 17th floor, offering unobstructed city views.
Spaces like The Writers Bar and the special occasion restaurant are seamlessly integrated into the design, while the speakeasy offers a more exclusive experience through a deliberate sequence of thresholds.
In the guestrooms and suites, Stonehill Taylor strikes a balance between Raffles' global design language and Boston's cultural context, incorporating elements like hand-painted wallcoverings and subtle leaf illustrations.
