Kimpton Marlowe is a boutique hotel overlooking the Charles River in East Cambridge, about a 10-minute walk from Kendall Square and downtown Boston. Guests enter through a private courtyard watched over by Celeste, a 25-foot-tall armillary sculpture. Freshly redesigned rooms and suites draw on both Boston’s history and Cambridge’s culture of innovation, and the hotel promotes a “#1 Hotel in Cambridge, MA 2026” ranking from U.S. News & World Report.

Meetings and events are a major part of the hotel’s business, with more than 15,000 square feet of renovated, light-filled space, including a 3,400-square-foot ballroom, that can host 10 to 500 guests. The courtyard holds alfresco gatherings for up to 300.
