On July 26, 2017, YOTEL Boston landed in the Seaport District in style with a celebratory event called “YOTEL–>BOS.” Nearly 400 attendees roamed the airline-inspired hotel’s activated cabins & public spaces and enjoyed entertainment by YOTEL’s sound architect, Tom Middleton, Violin Viv, graffiti artist, Percy Fortini-Wright, illustrator, Ian Sklarsky, tap dancer, Khalid Hill, crooner Patrick Tobin, and more. Along with the interactive live performances, guests indulged in inventive food & drink offerings from a diverse group of vendors including Lolita Cocina & Tequila Bar, YO! Sushi, Shake Shack, FoMu, Row 34, and Bully Boy Distillers.
