A boutique hotel in Cambridge, MA

Kimpton Marlowe Hotel resembles walking into a luxurious fantasy storybook, where a willingness to suspend judgment fosters a curious exploration. They welcome guests to daydream on a bench in their enchanting courtyard, to get immersed in a book on their outdoor patio, or to engage with new friends over a glass of wine in their rich, romantic living room or bustling Bambara Kitchen + Bar restaurant. Their intuitive staff members stay two steps ahead, catering to your every need whether you’re here on a friend-fueled vacation or an inspiring business retreat. We offer pampering amenities and thoughtful perks that ensure your time in their Cambridge home proves comfortable, luxurious, and—much like this city—thought-provoking, stimulating, and endlessly full of awe.

Rooms & Suites

Newly renovated and drawing inspiration from the neighboring Charles River, a subtle color palette emerges in their guestrooms and suites, and shades of steely blue, gray, and gold ground the design with a sense of calm. Natural wood finishes blend with sleek, industrial metalwork, evoking the residential masonry style found along the city’s historic, cobblestoned streets.

At Kimpton Marlowe Hotel, we believe you can have it all. First, unwind in a sumptuous suite roomier than some Boston apartments (think 530 to 600 square feet). Then soak in perks like luxurious bedding, floor-to-ceiling windows, and oversize bathrooms (some with Fuji spa tubs). Choose between a Studio Suite with King Bed or Executive Suite with King Bed, and get ready to sink into urban relaxation at its best.

Eat + Drink

Bambara showcases globally-inspired, new American cuisine and classic and modern techniques, delivering a menu that is original yet approachable. The cuisine is complimented by Bambara's sincere hospitality focusing on detailed and warm service. Local residents and travelers alike enjoy the personable atmosphere while imbibing specialty cocktails that accent the flavors profiles from the kitchen.

The Kimpton Marlowe Hotel’s lobby is a spot destined for self-discovery. Rich hues of blue, gold, orange, and persimmon speckled with black marble take celestial design influences to new heights. And positioned front and center, the lobby bar draws guests in with plug-in-ready communal tables and seating that’s wrapped around an alabaster-colored, glowing fireplace, an ideal setting for enjoying a glass of wine or a more traditional cocktail.
