AAA Diamond Inspector Notes

Located in the heart of American academia, this hotel artfully blends classic New England charm with modern sophistication, featuring rustic Shaker-style furnishings and striking original artwork. This is a preferred choice for dignitaries and luminaries who appreciate being surrounded by Harvard University and walking distance to MIT. Guests can enjoy diverse on-site dining options that offer a range of delicious cuisines and crafted drinks. The guest rooms range from comfortable to generously spacious, providing fine linens, goose-down comforters, 55-inch TVs, and Bose radios for a comfortable stay. The luxurious marble bathrooms elevate the experience with features like TVs embedded in mirrors, plush waffle robes, and anti-fog shaving mirrors in the showers. The hotel is conveniently located just a short walk from the Charles River and the Red Line subway entrance in the heart of Harvard Square, making it an excellent base for exploring the area. Additionally, the live jazz performances at Regattabar on weekends are a favorite among guests, creating a lively and memorable atmosphere. Smoke free premises. 303 units. 10 stories, interior corridors. Accessibility (Call).

It has become our home away from home when we travel to Cambridge! Just steps away from the Society of St. John the Evangelist and many wonderful restaurants.
