Just in time for the reawakening of Boston’s iconic Public Garden, Four Seasons Hotel Boston has reopened its doors. The hotel has completed a dramatic design update of its arrival area, lobby and porte-cochère, revealing artful and inspired new spaces created in partnership with AD100 designer, Ken Fulk. Years in the making, the transformation of Four Seasons Hotel Boston blends the timelessness of the property with the grandeur of its verdant Public Garden setting. Drawing inspiration from the elegant homes of neighbouring Beacon Hill and Back Bay, where old meets new, Fulk envisioned the hotel as a great residence overlooking stately grounds.
The hotel’s redesigned interiors welcome guests with a new sense of intimacy. The wide lobby has been masterfully reimagined as a series of smaller spaces that are grand, yet residential in scale. A mural drawn in Impressionist style features flora and fauna, where swan boats glide under the Foot Bridge, with one swan holding a key. The key is a clue to a hidden, fanciful mystery closet next to the front desk. Upon arrival, young guests are handed a large “kids-only” key to the closet and invited to select their own toys for a magical beginning to their Four Seasons Hotel Boston stay. Guests will also discover a collection of new restaurants and bars, which will join old favourites to provide an array of gastronomic experiences.
