Hotel Marlowe: Charles River hotel, gateway to Cambridge
Hotel Marlowe's Exceptional Charles River Location in Cambridge
Hotel Marlowe offers boutique style that is distinctly Cambridge. Our Charles River hotel reflects the unique character of this city, and the innovative spirit and sense of discovery that pervades it.
Separated from Boston by the Charles River, yet linked by eight bridges, Cambridge is often most closely identified with Harvard and MIT, which is within walking distance of our luxury hotel. Indeed, both world-famous campuses shape Cambridge's personality. With people from all over the world mingling in Harvard Square, frequenting coffee houses and perusing a remarkably dense concentration of book stores, Cambridge attracts seekers of knowledge, innovation, culture and diversity.
Our city is also alive with street performers and festivals, the futuristic MIT Museum, jazz and blues clubs and excellent repertory theaters. Central Square, with an abundance of inexpensive ethnic dining options-Indian, Caribbean, Ethiopian, Middle Eastern and more-is the epicenter for award-winning Cambridge restaurants.
Enjoy the sight of scullers gliding by on the river, and even join them with one of Hotel Marlowe's complimentary kayaks. Jog or bike along miles of river pathways-join our GM on a weekly run. View the Boston skyline from your Hotel Marlowe guestroom, or the Cambridge skyline from one of the ferryboats on the river. And if you're here in October, don't miss the Head of the Charles Regatta, the largest two-day rowing event in the world.
