Stonehill Taylor Designs a Biophilic Hotel Haven in Boston<\/h1>\n\n\n

Raffles Hotels & Resorts is a luxury Singaporean chain launched by the Persian-Armenian Sarkies brothers in 1887. Over the centuries, the portfolio has grown to more than 20 properties, a mix of secluded resorts and urban towers in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. One of the most recent openings\u2014and the brand\u2019s U.S. debut\u2014is Raffles Boston, a 35-story new-build by The Architectural Team<\/a> encompassing residences by Rockwell Group<\/a> and a 147-key hotel by Stonehill Taylor<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the company was named after pioneering botanist Sir Stamford Raffles, it\u2019s fitting that this hotel concept draws from the city\u2019s Emerald Necklace, the 1,100-acre chain of parks, infusing flora and fauna in guest rooms and public spaces, which include two lobbies, conference areas, lounges, and four F&B outlets. \u201cWe brought biophilic designs to life throughout,\u201d interiors design director Bethany Gale says. That\u2019s first evident in the ground-floor lobby, where a custom blown-glass installation resembles leaves falling from trees. The sky lobby, on 17, boasts actual plant life cascading from a 30-foot-high shelving system clad in warm copper. The latter material, which reappears in an elevator lobby, is another part of Stonehill Taylor\u2019s regional narrative: Its use was inspired by the Revere Copper Company, founded in 1801 in a Boston suburb by Paul Revere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
