What We Believe

People Are Our Capability – Hearts That Serve – Only Excellence – Stay Nimble - Own It

A refined gem among Boston boutique hotels, The Whitney welcomes guests to a calming retreat where uncomplicated luxury resides. Rooms are restful enclaves that provide a chic place to sleep, while the hotel’s social spaces serve everything from coffee to cocktails. Inspired by our namesake, Henry Melville Whitney—an American Industrialist and founder of the West End Railway Company —attention is paid to the smallest of details, from lush gardens by Matthew Cunningham down to interiors by Ealain Studio.

With the help of the architects at Boston-based Hacin + Associates, we have created a new cult favorite of the neighborhood—a timeless classic with urban flair. Blending in seamlessly with Beacon Hill’s black-shuttered townhouses and fashionable boutiques, The Whitney is an unexpected find where guests are indulged and instantly at home.
