Yotel lands in Boston
Yotel has opened its second U.S. location in Boston’s Seaport District. Inspired by first-class airline travel, Yotel Boston features smartly designed cabins, a technology-driven guest experience, and social spaces for co-working, relaxing and socialising. The new Boston property will also introduce the city’s latest indoor/outdoor rooftop bar and terrace, Sky Lounge.
Hubert Viriot, CEO of Yotel, comments: “We are thrilled to introduce Yotel to Bostonians and visitors alike. The exciting development of the Seaport neighbourhood is a great fit for our brand, making it the perfect location for our newest property. We think our innovative style of hospitality will suit those living or visiting Boston and meet the city’s growing demand for accommodation.”
The hotel’s 326 cabins present the essential elements of a luxury travel experience, including the brand’s signature SmartBed with Serta gel mattresses, Technowalls with smart TVs, mood lighting and easy connectivity for devices, alongside monsoon rain showers with bath amenities by Urban Skincare and heated towel racks. The hotel’s cabins are offered in multiple layouts from premium queen to first king and a VIP Suite. Fast and free WiFi is available throughout.
Yotel Boston’s social spaces are suitable for co-working, casual meetings, social gatherings and cultural programming alike. Located on the ground floor, spaces such as Club Lounge offers all-day casual dining and a food-to-go menu, and features a bar, private phone booths and an outdoor patio.
Sky Lounge, meanwhile, serves cocktails, local beer and small bites, with the space offering 360-degree views from the 12th floor. Further, the indoor lounge opens to a rooftop terrace featuring views of the neighbourhood, harbour below and the city skyline.
In keeping with its tech-savvy neighbourhood, Yotel Boston offers a technology-driven guest experience that simplifies the customer journey. At Mission Control, the brand’s take on reception, guests can check in with the hotel’s airline-style self-service kiosk, in under a minute, or use the Yotel app for keyless cabin entry. A tech feature unique to Yotel Boston is Atom, an 84-inch digital ‘social galaxy’ displayed on a screen, where guests can interact via their social media channels.
“Staying at Yotel gives guests back their time to enjoy what’s important to them,” explains Christopher Hartzell, General Manager of Yotel Boston. “We are excited to open our doors and welcome guests to the Yotel hospitality experience and all of the great offerings at Yotel Boston, including Sky Lounge with rooftop bar and terrace, the perfect spot to enjoy summer.”
Yotel Boston is owned by Wheelock Street Capital and located in the Seaport, an area known for its growing technology scene, luxury high-rises and independent artist community. It sits across the street from One Seaport Square, the sprawling mixed-use retail and residential project, and steps from Boston Harbour, the Financial District, Boston Convention and Exhibition Centre and the Institute of Contemporary Art. It also offers direct access to the Courthouse Station, placing the property three stops from Logan Airport and one stop from South Station.
