This Boston hotel was just named one of the best in the U.S.
Boston has no shortage of historic hotels, but one sleek downtown stay just earned a top spot among the country's best. The Godfrey Hotel Boston landed at number 6 on TripAdvisor's 2025 Travelers' Choice Awards: Best of the Best Hotels in the U.S., a list compiled from millions of reviews and ratings by travelers across the globe. Set in two beautifully restored early-1900s buildings in Downtown Crossing, The Godfrey blends Boston's old-school bones with modern swagger. Think smartphone keyless entry, in-room streaming tech and clean, mid-century-inspired interiors, complete with plush Frette linens and soothing neutrals. Guests rave about the oversized windows (there are more than 50 room types, but natural light is standard across the board) and a location that puts them steps from theaters, shops and some of the city's most buzzed-about restaurants. That includes Ruka, the hotel's signature spot where Japanese-Peruvian Nikkei and Chinese-Peruvian Chifa dishes get a local twist—yes, there's seafood and, yes, it's some of the best in town. But what really sets The Godfrey apart, travelers say, is the service. Staffers here strike a rare balance between New England charm and next-generation hospitality, seamlessly combining the two. It's a major moment for a hotel that has quietly helped anchor the revitalization of Downtown Crossing, a neighborhood once home to Benjamin Franklin and now humming with cocktail bars, boutiques and cultural events.
