Overview<br />

Since we opened in 1998, the <strong>Seaport</strong> has<br />

always been known as a pioneering and<br />

innovative organization providing guests<br />

with world-class service that’s also highly<br />

personalized, warm and genuine.<br />

When we opened our doors, there wasn’t<br />

much in the neighborhood except<br />

parking lots and our World Trade Center.<br />

We quickly made a name for ourselves<br />

throughout Boston providing a distinctive<br />

level of service, innovative guest amenities<br />

and culinary offerings that stood out from<br />

the competition.<br />

And the combined <strong>Seaport</strong> Hotel &<br />

World Trade center provided the<br />

opportunity to create the most unique<br />

venue in Boston, redefining the concept<br />

of hospitality for the city.<br />

IN FACT WE<br />

WERE<br />

APPLAUDED<br />

FOR CREATING<br />

A VARIETY OF<br />

INNOVATIVE<br />

BOSTON<br />

“FIRSTS” AS<br />

PART OF OUR<br />

CORE<br />

PRINCIPLES.<br />

<strong>The</strong> first entirely smoke-free hotel<br />

in Boston<br />

<strong>The</strong> first hotel to offer complimentary<br />

WiFi in guest rooms and all public<br />

spaces<br />

<strong>The</strong> first hotel to be service-inclusive<br />

<strong>The</strong> first hotel with an expansive<br />

fitness facility complimentary<br />

to guests<br />

<strong>The</strong> first hotel with a major commitment<br />

to being environmentally friendly<br />

2 3


Even our<br />

name, the<br />

<strong>Seaport</strong> Hotel,<br />

was a first.<br />

When we opened, our neighborhood<br />

was known as the South Boston<br />

Waterfront. With the success of the<br />

hotel and building of the office towers,<br />

the <strong>Seaport</strong> name has now become<br />

synonymous with the area which we<br />

now call the <strong>Seaport</strong> District.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Purpose<br />

of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Seaport</strong><br />

<strong>Story</strong><br />

So why have we created this document we’re calling <strong>The</strong> <strong>Seaport</strong> <strong>Story</strong>.<br />

We’re doing so to capture in written form the <strong>Seaport</strong> story as it relates to our<br />

core stakeholders, what makes <strong>Seaport</strong> so unique and different, and what we<br />

as <strong>Seaport</strong> team members need to do to live the <strong>Seaport</strong> story and keep it<br />

growing and improving each and everyday. While we have many training<br />

materials about how to do our jobs the goal of this document is to be your<br />

“one-stop shop” for what makes <strong>Seaport</strong>, <strong>Seaport</strong>!<br />

SEAPORT. SEA THE DIFFERENCE. SM<br />

Who<br />

Are<br />

Our<br />

Stakeholders?<br />

Our stakeholders are the key audiences<br />

that we serve in order to generate<br />

revenue, fulfill our mission statement and<br />

thrive as an organization. <strong>The</strong>y are as<br />

follows:<br />

OUR GUESTS<br />

<strong>The</strong> business and leisure guests who stay with us daily. Among the 87 hotels they<br />

could have chosen in Boston, they have selected us and it’s our responsibility to<br />

ensure that they feel that they’ve chosen wisely and that the service and experience<br />

we provide makes them want to tell their friends and come back again and again!<br />

WEDDINGS AND SOCIAL GALA PLANNERS AND ATTENDEES<br />

We’re one of Boston’s most popular hotels for weddings and major charitable social<br />

events. We’re known for the quality of our food, our personalized service and variety<br />

of venues and most importantly for the memories that we make for people attending<br />

events at <strong>Seaport</strong>. In many ways, we’re Boston’s hometown hotel for major events.<br />

OUR TEAM MEMBERS<br />

<strong>Seaport</strong> is committed to being a best of class employer providing all team members<br />

with a workplace in which they can grow and prosper and in which they can be<br />

proud.<br />

MEETING PLANNERS AND ATTENDEES<br />

<strong>The</strong> people who select <strong>Seaport</strong> for business meetings and conferences and drive<br />

millions of dollars of revenue to our hotel. We’re known as one of the best hotels for<br />

business meetings in the Northeast and these events, whether they are for ten people<br />

or 2,000, keep our hotel humming and all of us busy.<br />

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD<br />

In just a few short years the <strong>Seaport</strong> District has become a thriving business and<br />

residential community and we benefit from office workers and residents dining in our<br />

restaurants, using WAVE, parking in our garage and referring friends and family to stay<br />

with us.<br />

OUR OWNERS<br />

We are committed to making our owners proud of their investment in <strong>Seaport</strong> and<br />

committed to continuing to make <strong>Seaport</strong> great.<br />

What Sets Us<br />

Apart From the<br />

Competition?<br />

What Are We Most<br />

Proud Of?<br />

While there are many things that make<br />

us different and better than our<br />

competitors, the one thing that we’re<br />

told most consistently is the service they<br />

receive from <strong>Seaport</strong> team members.<br />

Of course we have beautiful guest<br />

rooms, great food, a great location and<br />

wonderful meeting and event spaces —<br />

but so do lots of other hotels in Boston<br />

and around the world.<br />

• What sets us apart is the warmth,<br />

friendliness and extraordinary service<br />

that each and every one of us provide<br />

day-in-and-day-out.<br />

• <strong>The</strong> team members of <strong>Seaport</strong> and<br />

the genuine connections that we<br />

make with our guests create lasting<br />

impressions and memories that just<br />

can’t be replicated elsewhere.<br />

• It’s the reason our rankings are so<br />

high in TripAdvisor and other travel<br />

websites, why we win so many meeting<br />

awards and why our scores are so high<br />

in our guest satisfaction surveys.<br />

What<br />

Our<br />

Guests<br />

Say<br />

Always amazing ✪✪✪✪✪<br />

From hotel appearance, the room, the food, the staff - everything at the <strong>Seaport</strong> Hotel<br />

is amazing and upscale. One of my favorite places to stay when I’m in Boston. Great<br />

location as well - easy walk or drive to my office. Water views are a plus. Surrounding<br />

restaurants and stores are a great convenience. Love the <strong>Seaport</strong> Hotel!<br />

One of our best stays! ✪✪✪✪✪<br />

Very courteous staff. Great location, decent parking rates. Impeccable service. Our<br />

room was amazing, the views were really cool. <strong>The</strong> on-screen personalized services<br />

were also awesome. Can’t wait to go back!<br />

Consistently great hotel ✪✪✪✪✪<br />

I have stayed here several times and each time the hotel is terrific. <strong>The</strong> location is<br />

ideal and the parking is very convenient. <strong>The</strong> rooms are extremely comfortable and<br />

very clean. <strong>The</strong> staff is so pleasant and accommodating. <strong>The</strong> food selections were<br />

delicious. I highly recommend this hotel.<br />

20 21


What<br />

Makes<br />

Our<br />

Service<br />

So<br />

Good?<br />

Our status as a locally-owned independent hotel.<br />

As a team we’re able to create our own rules and standards.<br />

Diversity.<br />

Our team members come from all over the country and all over<br />

the globe and we respect the differences and strengths that we<br />

all bring to <strong>Seaport</strong><br />

Longevity.<br />

Unlike many other hotels where employees come and go<br />

frequently, it’s not uncommon for <strong>Seaport</strong> team members to have<br />

been here for 5, 10, 15 and even 20 years. That allows us to work<br />

more effectively as a team and to have familiar and friendly faces<br />

greet our guests.<br />

Empowerment.<br />

We empower our team members to take whatever initiatives they<br />

think best to serve our guests, remedy problems and to create<br />

memorable experiences without seeking a manager’s approval.<br />

22 23


What Else<br />

residential design.<br />

• We’re Boston’s hometown hotel,<br />

locally owned and one of the city’s<br />

most popular venues for major<br />

bound by rules and regulations from a<br />

corporate headquarters thousands of<br />

miles away. We have the freedom to<br />

be creative and innovative to meet our<br />

guests’ needs.<br />

• Our culinary product in both A La Carte<br />

and Banquets is unique featuring<br />

seasonal and often locally sourced<br />

products at a quality level that few<br />

hotels can match.<br />

reinforce our core principles providing<br />

free WiFi, complimentary bottled water,<br />

complimentary access to one the city’s<br />

largest and most comprehensive gyms,<br />

complimentary bicycles and more.<br />

About Us?<br />

• We’re family friendly and take pride in<br />

our green efforts. And we’ve received<br />

a number of national, regional and<br />

local awards and accolades for our<br />

principles and points of differentiation.<br />

• We're locally owned and committed<br />

to our city and community. Through<br />

donations, in-kind gifts and service and<br />

members and the community.<br />

Our Brand<br />

Positioning<br />

Statement.<br />

Our brand positioning statement is quite<br />

simply the “reasons why” a guest or<br />

client should choose <strong>Seaport</strong>. Our<br />

elevator speech. At <strong>Seaport</strong> our brand<br />

positioning statement is as follows:<br />

For all our guests and clients, <strong>Seaport</strong> provides a refreshingly different level of warm<br />

and attentive service and amenities that sets it apart from major brand competitors.<br />

Locally owned, <strong>Seaport</strong> is Boston’s hometown hotel and is known for offering the most<br />

flexible and responsive service in the city from Boston’s most experienced team.<br />

As our name suggests, we overlook the Boston waterfront and our casually elegant<br />

Deliver Extraordinary<br />

Service<br />

Consistently?<br />

I’M A<br />

PROBLEM<br />

SOLVER!<br />

I LOOK<br />

MY BEST!<br />

• We look for opportunities to greet our<br />

guests with a warm smile and eye<br />

contact.<br />

• We ask them how they are and how<br />

we can serve them.<br />

• We look for appropriate ways to<br />

engage them in conversation<br />

• We provide our team members with a<br />

powerful tool we call EMPOWERMENT<br />

encouraging them to surprise and<br />

delight our guests even if it costs<br />

money without seeking approval<br />

from their managers and we celebrate<br />

the WOW moments they create for<br />

our guests.<br />

• We look our best in terms of grooming<br />

and wardrobe and adhere to our<br />

uniform and grooming standards<br />

• We work as a team within our<br />

departments and with other<br />

departments to provide the highest<br />

level of quality service and products<br />

that are consistent with agreed upon<br />

standards.<br />

• We use the <strong>Seaport</strong> Quality Process to<br />

look for ways to continually improve<br />

and innovate.<br />

• We use benchmarking tools such as<br />

Medallia, TripAdvisor and Coyle to<br />

measure guest satisfaction and to<br />

identify opportunities for improving<br />

the guest experience.<br />

Our Product<br />

and Service<br />

Development<br />

Guidelines<br />

One of the many benefits we have as an<br />

independent hotel is that we are able<br />

to create or our guidelines for our guest<br />

experiences. But we also need to make<br />

sure that what we deliver is “on brand” for<br />

the <strong>Seaport</strong> Experience.<br />

• To help each of us to determine what<br />

is on brand for <strong>Seaport</strong> we should ask<br />

ourselves the following questions:<br />

1. Is what I am doing or creating a<br />

positive and memorable experience<br />

for the guest?<br />

2. If it is a public facing communication<br />

(print, digital, etc), it needs to have<br />

been designed and approved by<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Seaport</strong> Hotel has always been refreshingly different — a<br />

wonderful place to stay, to meet, to socialize, to dine. But it’s<br />

the marketing department.<br />

time to recharge our batteries, rejuvenate our thinking, and take<br />

our look and our service to a new level. It’s time for a Fresh Start!<br />

Please What does submit this mean for us? requests for projects<br />

Positioning is strategic thinking behind who we are and how<br />

we want to be perceived. Positioning is a concept… and branding is<br />

can I say yes to these three questions:<br />

what brings that concept to life.<br />

Branding communicates our positioning both visually and verbally.<br />

It determines what our guests and prospective guests think of us<br />

1. Is it consistent<br />

and differentiates<br />

with<br />

us from<br />

the<br />

other hotels in<br />

<strong>Seaport</strong><br />

their minds. Our brand is<br />

brand<br />

our personality.<br />

Everything our guests see, read and hear about us, plus everything<br />

and the <strong>Seaport</strong> they experience way with us, communicates of something doing about who we things?<br />

are. This extends from advertising to menus, web sites to room<br />

décor, conventions to weddings.<br />

2. Is the graphic design, look and feel<br />

A fresh new<br />

consistent branding! with our brand standards?<br />

3. Does it Fresh<br />

Colors, patterns, photos and illustrations all leave an impression and<br />

create a WOW experience<br />

define our style. Here’s how we’re building our visual personality.<br />

Palette<br />

We’ll be using bright, welcoming colors.<br />

that surprises and delights our guests<br />

Icons & Patterns<br />

Different We’ve developed a series of icons or badges to denote our<br />

different services. Drawn from the fantastic mythology of the sea,<br />

and clients? they are unique, elegant and totally contemporary.<br />

Alive<br />

When so many hotels are so predictable, we want to reinforce<br />

our independence and freedom to express ourselves differently.<br />

Our badges and patterns can be as subtle as sand or as wild as<br />

hotel in Boston and one of the few to provide complimentary<br />

WiFi<br />

• A service culture that is warm, natural, spontaneous, refreshing<br />

• A commitment to keeping the planet fresh with <strong>Seaport</strong> Saves<br />

What’s next?<br />

Our Positioning Statement<br />

Inspired by fresh ocean breezes and the innovative vibe of the <strong>Seaport</strong><br />

District, the <strong>Seaport</strong> Hotel delivers experiences that are always fresh and<br />

creative. We have an energized and enthusiastic commitment to ensure<br />

every guest and client experience is refreshingly individualized, the<br />

opposite of predetermined chain hotel experiences. Every single meeting,<br />

wedding, meal and cocktail is created precisely for that guest, providing a<br />

fresh experience each time.<br />

How do you express our <strong>Seaport</strong><br />

personality in photos? Think<br />

outside the box, then add a dose<br />

of waterfront whimsy and offer<br />

guests a compelling invitation to<br />

experience the <strong>Seaport</strong> difference<br />

for themselves.<br />

Our photography, whether stock or<br />

original, should always be charming<br />

and/or whimsical.<br />

Positioning is the strategic thinking behind who we are and how<br />

we want to be perceived. Positioning is a concept… and branding is<br />

what brings that concept to life.<br />

Branding communicates our positioning both visually and verbally.<br />

It determines what our guests and prospective guests think of us<br />

and differentiates us from other hotels in their minds. Our brand is<br />

our personality.<br />

Everything our guests see, read and hear about us, plus everything<br />

they experience with us, communicates something about who we<br />

are. This extends from advertising to menus, web sites to room<br />

décor, conventions to weddings.<br />

A fresh new<br />

We’ll be using bright, welcoming colors.<br />

Icons & Patterns<br />

We’ve developed a series of icons or badges to denote our<br />

different services. Drawn from the fantastic mythology of the sea,<br />

they are unique, elegant and totally contemporary.<br />

When so many hotels are so predictable, we want to reinforce<br />

our independence and freedom to express ourselves differently.<br />

Our badges and patterns can be as subtle as sand or as wild as<br />

the waves, but they will be distinctly, refreshingly <strong>Seaport</strong>, full of<br />

whimsical sea creatures and Fresh references to Boston’s<br />

seaport past.<br />

OUR CHIEF STEWARD HANGS OUT ON THE ROOF.<br />

Meet Edwin Medrano, Chief Steward. Edwin and his staff keep our equipment humming. But<br />

it’s his rooftop hives and 1,000,000 bees that put our own honey on your breakfast table and in<br />

our signature dishes. <strong>Seaport</strong>’s Official Beekeeper rides a bike to work and is passionate about<br />

the <strong>Seaport</strong> Green Team and the role he plays in creating a unique and memorable experience<br />

MIKE MIXES PEOPLE AS WELL AS DRINKS.<br />

Meet Head Bartender Mike Wuschke. (Yes, that’s pronounced “Whiskey.”) Mike is about as<br />

authentic a Boston bartender as you’ll find, with an encyclopedic knowledge of classic and new<br />

cocktails and an incredible ability to ensure that no one at his bar remains a stranger. When<br />

you sit at his bar, you are his personal guest. This genuine interest in people is what makes<br />

<strong>Seaport</strong> employees special. <strong>The</strong>y are why our guests return again and again, and why <strong>Seaport</strong><br />

consistently claims the top ranking in TripAdvisor’s popularity index. Cheers!<br />

CHEF RICHARD IS SO FRESH.<br />

Meet Executive Chef Richard Rayment. A good chef insists on fresh, locally sourced ingredients<br />

on his daily menus. A great one like Richard Rayment believes even a banquet for 1,000 people<br />

deserves a customized menu. Not only is his food fresh, so is Chef Richard’s thinking. Classically<br />

trained, this native Brit has worked all over the world. Guests rave about his intriguing international<br />

flavors, innovative dishes and beautiful presentations. Thanks to passionate staff members like<br />

Chef Richard, guests return to <strong>Seaport</strong> again and again. Delicious!<br />

ginger tea. It’s not on the menu, but Maria, along with our entire housekeeping staff knows how<br />

to brew this soothing cup of cold relief. Like all <strong>Seaport</strong> employees, Maria cares. Our staff is a major<br />

reason why guests return to <strong>Seaport</strong> again and again. Bless you!<br />

<strong>Seaport</strong> Culinary Guide from Chef<br />

We here in New England are blessed to have four very distinct seasons, each beautiful in its own way.<br />

And with these seasons we are fortunate to be able to enjoy a variety of seasonal offerings from our<br />

coastal waters and our farms that have created a rich culinary tradition.<br />

It is this bounty of seasonal offerings that has inspired me to create what we believe to be a very unique<br />

approach to our banquet menu – a menu that will change each month to bring our guests produce, fish<br />

and other ingredients that are fresh, local and in season.<br />

This is a departure from the traditional catering menu which plans out months in advance the specifics<br />

of each meal with specific proteins, starches and vegetables. With <strong>Seaport</strong>’s Seasonal Offerings we will<br />

select the three key staples for each menu based on what is fresh at the time – just as you would if you<br />

were having someone over to dinner at your house.<br />

Of course for clients who like to plan ahead we will continue to be able to select from an extensive<br />

selection of menu options for each meal period.<br />

And while my emphasis as Executive Chef here at <strong>Seaport</strong> is to bring to you the best of New England,<br />

I do so also with the influences of more than forty years of being a culinary globetrotter working in<br />

Europe, the Americas and the Far East.<br />

For each dish that we create here at <strong>Seaport</strong>, my goal is to combine both what is familiar and<br />

approachable with a twist of something unusual based on my experience cooking around the world and<br />

new trends that I’m discovering in the incredibly dynamic and evolving world of food.<br />

I invite you to join me on this culinary adventure and allow me to present a menu that is personal,<br />

inventive and memorable for you and your guests.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Executive Chef Richard Rayment<br />

About Chef Richard<br />

With more than forty years of professional culinary experience, Chef Richard Rayment is a classically trained chef from London<br />

who has worked around the world, including London, San Francisco, Sydney, Bermuda and Boston. Chef Richard was trained in<br />

the traditional City Guild apprenticeship programs in the UK and then, as a young chef, traveled the world on cruise lines with<br />

ports of call in the Mediterranean, South America, and the Far East. Before coming to <strong>Seaport</strong>, Chef Richard worked in a variety of<br />

executive chef positions for Ritz Carlton both in San Francisco and Boston and also for the prestigious St. James Club in London.<br />

Influenced by the many regional spices and foods that he has experienced on his travels, and the bounty of fresh and local<br />

ingredients and food that he first discovered while working in California, his approach to cooking is to combine the best of what is<br />

local with the spices and cooking techniques that bring out the best of each element on the plate.<br />

Chef has taken the opportunity to reflect the seasonality of New England<br />

where possible in his menu creation, currently we are featuring:<br />

Food inspired by<br />

the Farmer to the Chef<br />

How Do<br />

We Work<br />

With<br />

Each Other?<br />

• A key to our success is the ability to<br />

work collaboratively both within and<br />

across departments to create the best<br />

product offerings and deliver the best<br />

service – both to our guests and to<br />

each other. If what you are doing in<br />

terms of procedures and practices<br />

impacts another department it’s critical<br />

that you get their feedback and buyin.<br />

And if it impacts the guest and<br />

clients and marketing and sales need<br />

to promote you must get their input<br />

before implementing!<br />

• We always think about what’s best for<br />

the guest as our first priority<br />

• We always think about how to work<br />

respectfully with each other and what<br />

the impact of what we do will have on<br />

other departments and team members in<br />

order to create extraordinary experiences<br />

for our guests.<br />

• We support and value each other.<br />

• We celebrate each other’s successes<br />

• We provide constructive feedback to our<br />

team members and our managers<br />

• Whenever we are creating new initiatives<br />

we always have a plan:<br />

• Is it within budget?<br />

• Who owns the project?<br />

• Is there an internal and external<br />

communication plan?<br />

• What is the roll-out/launch plan?<br />

• What follow-up is needed and what are<br />

the measurements to determine if it’s<br />

successful.<br />

Quality At<br />

<strong>Seaport</strong>.<br />

How Do We<br />

Stay On Top?<br />

Surprise and delight<br />

the guest by sending them<br />

an amenity.<br />

If you hear they are<br />

celebrating a special day by<br />

making a request of F&B.<br />

One of the many reasons why we<br />

receive such high praise from our<br />

guests and clients is our commitment<br />

to continuous improvement and our<br />

commitment to quality.<br />

We use a variety of quality process tools<br />

to ensure that the quality process is<br />

always foremost in our minds:<br />

• Annual Quality Plan. <strong>The</strong> annual plan<br />

developed by each department by<br />

its managers and team member> It<br />

identifies strengths, weaknesses, areas<br />

of opportunity for improvement and<br />

feedback from other departments<br />

with resulting action steps for the<br />

year ahead. <strong>The</strong> quality plan should<br />

be shared with all members of each<br />

department and regularly reviewed<br />

and discussed.<br />

• Medallia. This is our guest satisfaction<br />

survey where we get ongoing<br />

feedback from our guests on their<br />

experience at <strong>Seaport</strong>. We use this<br />

survey to identify areas of opportunity<br />

for improvement and to understand<br />

our key strengths and weaknesses. <strong>The</strong><br />

results are shared daily throughout the<br />

organization and are incorporated into<br />

our quality plans.<br />

• Trip Advisor. We monitor guest<br />

comments on TripAdvisor and other<br />

third party websites such as Expedia daily<br />

to understand what our guests are saying<br />

about us, to interact with them after<br />

their stays and we use their comments<br />

as learning tools for continuous<br />

reinforcement and improvement.<br />

• Mystery Shops. We use mystery<br />

shopping services to get 360 degree<br />

feedback on the guest experience at<br />

<strong>Seaport</strong> from the time of reservation to<br />

the time the guest leaves and everything<br />

in between.<br />

• Empowerment. We empower our team<br />

members to use their own initiative to<br />

do what’s right for the guest and to<br />

correct problems on the spot and as an<br />

opportunity to create “wow” moments<br />

for our guests. <strong>The</strong>se ‘Moments of<br />

Truth” can take the form of engaging<br />

and assisting guests in ways that are<br />

beyond their normal expectations or by<br />

offering them complimentary amenities<br />

and services. And all team members are<br />

actively training and encouraged in our<br />

Empowerment philosophy.<br />

• QCards. We use QCards to give<br />

each other recognition for going above<br />

and beyond to serve our guests and<br />

each other. QCards can be awarded by<br />

managers to team members and team<br />

members can also award QCards to each<br />

other with the approval of a manager.<br />

Ask your manager for details.<br />
