It's all about MIT at Le Meridien, which is located on a quiet side street just outside of Central Square, a true melting pot. Guests are generally heading to the school, or to one of the local pharmaceutical companies, resulting in plenty of business travelers during the weekdays. However, it can also be a bargain for weekend vacationers—there are great off-season rates.

room

Rooms aren't anything to write home about, but they're suitable. Done up in warm coppers and rich dark blues, they overlook the city of Cambridge's peaceful streets, and feature Le Méridien Euro Top mattresses, puffy white duvets, flat-screen TVs, and ergonomically designed furniture. Refrigerators are available for an extra charge.

YOU SHOULD KNOW If you're a light sleeper, suggest a room farther away from the elevators, which tend to be a bit noisy.

bathroom

Bathrooms have makeup/shaving mirrors, bathrobes and hairdryers.

lobby

Filled with cool metal decor with burnished maple, redwood, and oak, the hotel's lobby is just the modern oasis you'd expect from a spot right next to MIT. Grab a seat on one of the couches and watch some TV, or head to the lobby bar, Amuse.

Don't miss the cool interactive lobby art.

gym

The 24-hour Fitness Centre has treadmills, ellipticals, strength-training machines, and space to stretch out or do yoga.

dining

Amuse Restaurant serves up New England classics for all three meals a day.

drinking

The Amuse Bar serves up hand-crafted cocktails, wines, and more. Guests can also order small bites from a menu at the bar.

LOCATION

Getting Around

For delicious coffee, pastries, and sandwiches, head to Flour Bakery and Cafe (5-minute walk), Joanne Chang's acclaimed mini-chain with the best sticky buns around.
