              About your stay

              By Meaghan Agnew, Jetsetter Correspondent

              It’s a little bit country, a little bit rock 'n roll and quintessentially Cambridge. Located in the heart of Harvard Square, this 294-room hotel combines sophisticated urbanity (a TV embedded in the bathroom mirror!) with down-home New England touches, from Shaker furniture to checkered quilts. And with two award-winning restaurants and a renowned jazz club and late-night bar, the hotel allows you to immerse yourself in the culture of the city without ever leaving the building.

              What we love

              • Fantastic Cambridge location right on Harvard Square
              • Large rooms with views of Cambridge or the river
              • Henrietta's Table has a popular Sunday brunch spread
              • On-site Rialto restaurant is one of Cambridge's best Italian places
              • An ice skating rink in winter keeps guests moving when it's cold out

              What to know

              • The hotel is in Cambridge, but not Boston; most tourist attractions are across the river
              • Parking is pricey
              • Reservations are recommended for the restaurant, and brunch at Henrietta's Table is a crowded affair
