Boston, MA After remaining closed since March of last year as a result of the COVID pandemic, the iconic and luxurious Ritz-Carlton, Boston officially re-open as the city looks to welcome back more tourists this summer. The Ritz-Carlton’s re-opening also coincides with the Baker-Polito Administration lifting all remaining industry COVID-19 restrictions on May 29^th and announcing the Commonwealth is on track to meet a goal of vaccinating 4.1 million residents by the first week of June.

Located in the heart of downtown, the hotel infused 193 of the largest, most elegantly appointed guestrooms in the city (including 43 suites) into the city’s supply of accommodations for both leisure and business travel when it reopened on June 3^rd. The re-opening also welcomed the return of Artisan Bistro which will serve breakfast (7-11am daily) and dinner (4-9pm daily) and will feature executive chef Shane Cooprider’s new seasonal summer dishes, like the Oro King Salmon with black rice risotto, baby bok choy kimchi, crushed cashews and scallions. Nine meeting rooms, including the hotel’s 3,500 s/f Ballroom overlooking the Boston Common, will once again host corporate meetings and social events. And to support the re-opening, the hotel has called back among their Ladies & Gentlemen several who have been working for The Ritz-Carlton brand in Boston for more than thirty years. At The Ritz-Carlton, Boston, the hotel’s Ladies and Gentlemen are the most important resource in the hotel›s 94-year service commitment to its guests.

“It’s great to be back,” said Ritz-Carlton, Boston general manager William Bunce enthusiastically. “And while it took us a bit longer to get here, we’re incredibly grateful to our Ladies and Gentlemen for sticking by us. We know how challenging last year was for so many, so we consider ourselves fortunate to have a loyal team in place that values what The Ritz-Carlton brand embodies.” Bunce, noting what’s happening in the Boston hotel market adds, “And while other hotels may be opening for the first time, our 94 years of Ritz-Carlton service excellence in Boston distinguishes us from them. I know I speak for our entire team when I say, ‘It’s wonderful to have The Ritz-Carlton brand welcoming guests once again in Boston.’”
