Charles Hotel

A perfect, charming hotel with a great location. The bed linens were incredibly soft, and the food served at Henrietta’s Table was very good. We loved the free snack pantry in the lobby, especially the bottles of water. Will absolutely stay again!

Great facility, staff and overall experience for a mother daughter trip to Boston. Loved the location and ease of walkability during the summer. The snack panty and arrival gift bag were a nice touch too.

The Charles Hotel provided a very comfortable stay for my daughter and I while she attended an athletic camp at Harvard. We were able to walk back and forth to the sports complex and never needed our car for anything! Harvard Square was very entertaining and walkable and the convenience of the nearby T station allowed us to go into Boston really easily on two occasions. Hotel staff was helpful when we needed any advice, and our waiter for breakfast at Henrietta’s Kitchen was friendly and personable. The breakfast was amazing as well! I will return to the Charles Hotel in the future if I am in the area for sure! P.S. My teenager was extremely impressed by the “free snacks” that were available! She got to raid the pantry after exercising all day!

I stayed at The Charles Hotel in Cambridge for one night with a family member after several days of college campus visits. We booked through American Express Fine Hotels + Resorts, and the experience exceeded our expectations. The location is outstanding—just steps from Harvard Yard and in the heart of Cambridge. In fact, we never felt the need to venture into downtown Boston, as the neighborhood itself was vibrant, charming, and full of excellent dining options (we however decided to enjoy dinner at Henrietta’s Table, at the hotel). Our room was elegant, with a very comfortable bed and an excellent shower. What impressed us most was the contrast between the lively atmosphere of central Cambridge in the evening and the tranquility of the hotel, which felt like a peaceful retreat despite being only a few blocks away from the bustle. The guest service team was efficient, professional, and genuinely friendly throughout our stay. Overall, this was a wonderful experience, and I would highly recommend The Charles Hotel to anyone visiting Cambridge or the Boston area.

Suite reserved says for 3ppl but need to call to be sure have one with 2 Qs vs 1 K. Staff was very nice and extra helpful in making sure we were happy with our stay. Overall the hotel is fantastic and the location perfect. Chancellor suite is worth the extra $$.
