Hey there, Beantown! We are back on the road and you are our first stop on our Northeast Roadshow on August 26th.

You know by now that we like shiny new things, so we are coming in hot to Raffles Boston, the chic new hotel and hang out for those needing to unwind after work or visiting from out of town. Opening in September 2023, Raffles, a Singapore-based hotel group chose Boston to make their North American debut. The 35-story, modern, new building, located in the Back Bay neighborhood, has 147 keys for guest rooms and residences.

We will start off with our signature Destination Showcase which will allow Meeting and Event Planners to have 1:1 time with our Destination Partners followed by a cocktail reception.

The Blind Duck, Raffles rooftop speakeasy with floral décor inspired by Boston’s Emerald Necklace, a network of parks and green spaces, serves up specially crafted cocktails and small bites with views of this beautiful city.

Come join us on Monday, August 26th at Raffles Boston from 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm for our Destination Showcase in the Ballroom, followed by a cocktail reception from 6:00 – 7:30 pm at the Blind Duck.

Venue and Chef Spotlight: Stop #3 on the Northeast Roadshow – The Row Hotel at Assembly Row and The Smoke Shop Restaurant, Somerville, MA

Posted on | by Joe Mo | 2 Comments on Venue and Chef Spotlight: Stop #3 on the Northeast Roadshow – The Row Hotel at Assembly Row and The Smoke Shop Restaurant, Somerville, MA

Retreats Resources is taking the show on the road to the Northeast for the first time ever!! And while we usually take this space to help familiarize you with the venues we chose, in this particular upcoming series we also want to introduce you to the Chefs we have partnered with for each event! We call them “Chefs with Heart”, and we think you will see why. Let’s start with a little background on our third stop on the Northeast Roadshow: The Row Hotel at Assembly Row and The Smoke Shop Restaurant in Somerville, MA

You’ll find The Row Hotel in the urban-forward neighborhood of Assembly Row in Somerville – close enough to the city, but far enough from the busy. Of the hotels near Boston, the Row Hotel is exactly like nothing else, with an atmosphere that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

Moving on to our dinner location, The Smoke Shop Restaurant’s Chef Andy Husbands is the award-winning chef, author and Pitmaster behind the Smoke Shop BBQ, Boston’s acclaimed barbecue restaurants, and three-time winner of Boston Magazine’s “Best Barbecue”.

Come join us in Boston and see for yourself, from 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm at The Row Hotel at Assembly Row in Somerville for our luxury destination showcase then walking to The Smoke Shop Restaurant for dinner, Whiskey and Brisket Summer School, from 5:45 pm – 8:00 pm with a Chef Andy Husbands.

We look forward to welcoming you to The Row Hotel and The Smoke Shop Restaurant on July 21st and the final stop on the inaugural Northeast Roadshow!
