Downtown Boston Hotel

The hotel unites two listed buildings designed by one of the area's most celebrated architects. The neo-classical Amory Building is on the left at the corner of West Street. The Godfrey Hotel Boston and its Downtown Crossing home have seen a lot of changes over the years.
Accommodations
The hotel's Executive King rooms overlook the streets of Downtown Crossing or the historically protected interior courtyard. Rooms feature complimentary, very fast Wi-Fi, a 55" Samsung LED HDTV with 100+ HD channels, Frette linens, and C.O. Bigelow bath & body products.

Hotel Amenities
The Godfrey offers amenities to simplify planning. The mishmash contrasts the lobby's plain palette of grey and fawn with reproduction black and white abstract patterned 1950s seats. This hotel features wellness features and programs that maximize your experience and minimize the impact that travel has on the human body.
“In the heart of Boston, this is a hotel that strikes a rare balance: a quiet, grown-up atmosphere steps away from the bustle of Downtown Crossing. The property's blend of historic architecture and modern design creates a sophisticated base for exploring the city, with the added draw of its unique Peruvian-Japanese dining experience. I find the hotel stands out for its commitment to guest comfort, ensuring a restful stay amid Boston's vibrant energy.”
