Located along Land Boulevard in East Cambridge, this twin-towered modern hotel features 400 spacious rooms with panoramic views of Boston and the Charles River. The Royal Sonesta's circular courtyard leads to an open-plan lobby showcasing original works by prominent contemporary artists. This Cambridge hotel offers 28000 square feet of function space accommodating up to 550 guests, including the only 3800-square-foot private outdoor terrace on this side of the Charles. Dining options include ArtBar featuring New England cuisine and Studio Café & Bakery serving house-made pastries and gourmet meals. The property maintains an indoor pool with a salt-based water system and a 24-hour fitness center. Harvard Square, MIT, Museum of Science, TD Garden, and Faneuil Hall are all easily accessible from the location. Kendall Square's lively tech hub with restaurants and an art-house cinema sits nearby.
Pros
Salt-based pool system is gentle on skin and eyes
Original artwork by respected contemporary artists throughout the property
Private 3800-square-foot outdoor terrace with river views
Seasonal sundeck for guest relaxation
Cons
4:00 PM check-in time is later than some hotels
Self-parking fee of $42 per night
“The Royal Sonesta Boston is a somewhat mixed experience. I appreciate its location near Boston and Cambridge attractions, plus it has covered parking. However, some rooms need updating, which impacts the overall impression, and that indoor pool needs a serious cleaning.”
