Kimpton Marlowe By Ihg - A riverside Cambridge hotel with a 25-foot steampunk sculpture, science-themed decor, and Mediterranean dining
Located in East Cambridge bordering Boston, the four-star Kimpton Marlowe features a striking 25-foot rotating steampunk sculpture called Celeste in its courtyard. The hotel's 15000 square feet of meeting space includes a 3400-square-foot ballroom with natural light and high-tech audiovisual equipment. Bambara Kitchen & Bar serves Mediterranean-influenced cuisine in a setting of blue tones and wood paneling, complemented by local artwork. Children receive welcome gifts, kid-sized bathrobes, and access to special equipment including scooters and bikes. The Cambridge hotel's wellness amenities include a 24/7 gym, in-room yoga mats, and the Live Outdoor Reality rowing experience. Guest rooms incorporate design elements paying tribute to Edwin H. Land, inventor of the Polaroid camera. Positioned along the Charles River Canal, the Kimpton Marlowe stands within a 10-minute walk of the Community College and downtown Boston.
