Hotel Marlowe

$$-$$$, Cambridge

Fodor's Review:

Understated it's not! Vivid stripes, swirls, and other patterns punctuate this slightly over-the-top, lively boutique hotel, which expertly combines luxury, unique stylish flair, and unpretentious service. Leopard-print pillows and fake-fur throws add whimsy to the spacious rooms; many overlook the Charles River. Nice touches abound, like luscious linens, complimentary coffee and tea each morning, popular complimentary wine receptions each evening, and use of bikes and kayaks in summer. Pros: Luxury with below-market price tag, free use of business center, super family- and pet-friendly, great money-saving packages available throughout the year; free book readings and other literary events are held weekly in the hotel lobby. Cons: It's a cab ride or a walk and T ride into Boston; the wild colors and decor may not be for everyone.
