Gilded Age banking hall reborn as a Back Bay address for understated excess.
Raffles Boston inhabits the 1912 Beaux-Arts former headquarters of the National Shawmut Bank, all Corinthian columns and coffered ceilings restored to operatic effect. The rooms are hushed, tailored, decidedly un-American in their restraint—walnut paneling, Italian marble, windows overlooking Copley Square's architectural pageant. Downstairs, the Long Bar occupies the original banking floor, where cocktails are mixed beneath chandeliers that once illuminated Brahmin fortunes.
