If you are looking for true 5 star quality in Boston there are much better options. The butler service is more a gimmick than a focus on what a customer wants. The restaurant options are sorely lacking for any kind of decent room service. Quality of the rooms and service was lacking as well even in a large suite setting.

Raffles is by far the #1 hotel in Boston. From the endearing, helpful, and polite staff who made certain to meet my every need (even those I did not anticipate) to the immaculate room and top-notch toiletries, to the outstanding food and service - I will make this my only hotel to stay in going forward.

Very welcoming and attentive staff. The food was delicious and with a great variety of choices, including vegan options, which I loved. The entire place and my room were spotless. Also, used the gym and spa and it was all great. Truly amazing and I highly recommend it!
