The Story

Each Kimpton hotel has a distinct personality and a soul of its own - a story. The stories are varied and colorful; wine, art, literature, well-being, food, and architecture to name a few. Each unique story promises you adventure, inspiration, and delightful surprises while offering the familiarity and style of the Kimpton Hotels brand.


The story of Hotel Marlowe is Discovery.

Columbus, Magellan, Dora...they've got nothing on Marlowe. We recognize that life is about discovery - new places, new things, new people, even discovering yourself, so we've infused many unique and fun elements for you to experience just that during your stay.

At our nightly reception, you may hear a noted Boston author speaking from our Discovery Reading series with Pen New England as you sip a new favorite vintage from our Wines of the World collection. Hop on one of our complimentary bicycles to discover Cambridge on two wheels. The sky's the limit on clear nights - our guests can head across the street to the Boston Museum of Science Observatory and check out the universe with complimentary use of their telescopes every Friday night from 8:30pm–10:00pm.

It's our hope that during your stay with us you'll not only discover the wonder of Cambridge, a city of diversity, culture, innovation, but that you find a renewed sense of wonder and discovery in yourself as well.
