I bet it will be packed, too.

Preferably, I would come around Christmas, after they have worked out the new hotel team, new hotel operations, new building, etc. kinks.

I was curious so I checked the cheapest rate for some other luxury hotels for the same dates:

Four Seasons (Public Garden) - $912/night
Four Seasons (Dalton) - $730/night
Ritz - $718/night
Mandarin - $795/night
XV Beacon - $745/night

I know it is the new kid on the block, but the Raffles better be REALLY nice at about $400 more per night than the Dalton Four Seasons and Ritz and $300 more than the Mandarin. Curious to see if the Raffles prices stick long term.

$1,100 per night close to peak season is actually not too bad a price when considering the features of the property, and who you will be hanging out next to. Last summer in Portland, Maine I was looking for a weekend hotel room during July and the downtown Holiday Inn rate was at $1,050 per night. Yes, supply and demand, and this new Raffles will, or during a notable convention next summer, perhaps shoot up to $2,000 per night. That's not hard to predict. Maybe even more. And if NYC mayor Eric Adams migrant apocalypse prediction comes to fruition, the rich there will make their way up to Boston (or Portland, Maine, of which has seen numerous super yacht visits now).

You were likely looking for a room in Portland during one of the overnight camps visiting day weekends when thousands of parents come for the weekend to visit their kids at overnight camps in the area. I have seen rooms that go over $100 normally go for $800 that weekend and those are not even in downtown Portland but rather closer to the airport. Those few days are easily the most expensive days of the year in Maine for hotels.
