Following the sweeping transformation of its lobby-level public spaces and restaurant one year ago, Four Seasons Hotel Boston unveils a dramatic encore: its extensively redesigned Royal Suite, a 2,590-square-foot (241 square metre) sanctuary offering a fresh and modern take on the classic Boston brownstone.
The re-envisioned Royal Suite offers grand yet comfortable living and relaxed entertaining at this desirable Boston address. With its elevated sixth-floor vantage point facing the historic Public Garden, the suite provides an extraordinary sense of connection to the city’s crown jewel. Expansive windows in all living spaces showcase magnificent views of the park, iconic Beacon Hill and the city skyline.
“Our new Royal Suite is inspired by the exquisite town homes in our Back Bay neighbourhood, which balance architectural tradition with a modern point of view,” says Michael Pedder, General Manager, Four Seasons Hotel Boston. “The look and feel are residential, with spaces that flow for relaxation and entertaining. It’s the details that set this suite apart – from the abundance of creature comforts to the little touches that make a guest feel truly at home. We look forward to welcoming guests to the new Royal Suite.”
Bold colour, classic architectural details, contemporary furnishings and grand residential scale characterize the new Royal Suite, which has been designed by Niemitz Design Group, Inc., Boston. The heart of the suite is the Great Room, a 729-square-foot (68 square metre) gathering space anchored by an oversized U-shaped sectional and a clean-lined marble fireplace. Floor-to-ceiling windows, French doors and a step-out view flood the room with light and immerse guests in a panoramic garden environment.
Designed for entertaining, the versatile Great Room accommodates a cozy family game night or a chic cocktail gathering of up to 25 guests. It features a four-seat marble bar stocked with premium spirits, including a martini set-up starring Coterie gin, created exclusively for the Hotel by Short Path Distillery in nearby Everett, Massachusetts. Bar selections and all of the suite’s refreshments are complimentary to guests. Behind the bar, custom millwork painted in the suite’s signature blue is lined with shelves featuring an artful collection of books and objects.
Private celebrations and family dinners will be unforgettable when hosted in the suite’s airy dining room, which seats up to 12 guests. Here, grass cloth walls and painted moulding in blue are accented by a gold-veined ceiling and dramatic pendant lamps that complement glittering night time views.
A private Cinema Room furnished with deep velvet banquettes and leather lounge chairs arranged theatre-style, a custom-designed multi-room Bang & Olufsen sound system and Apple TV create the perfect setting for friends and family movie nights. Film buffs and series bingers will enjoy an array of complimentary popcorn and theatre treats, the suite’s private version of the Vaults, the Hotel’s legendary snack pantries located on each guest room floor.
When sleep calls, the Royal Suite is a sanctuary worthy of its name. A retreat within a retreat, the bedroom features a custom-made seven-foot by seven-foot (2.1 by 2.1 metre) Wyoming King bed dressed in signature Four Seasons linens and positioned opposite picture windows for guests to enjoy night time and waking views of the Public Garden from their pillow. A lavish marble bathroom and generously scaled dressing room with vanity complete the suite’s expansive private quarters.
