Traveling businesspeople and families like the modern look and efficiency of this 26-story high-rise hotel in Kendall Square, steps from the subway and MIT. Right in the epicenter of Cambridge's tech scene, the hotel appears more modern than your typical Marriott. If you're heading to Cambridge for a graduation weekend, be prepared that you should book way ahead of time.
