Kimpton Marlowe Hotel

Kimpton Marlowe Hotel is a boutique riverside property at 25 Edwin H Land Blvd in Cambridge, with the Charles River shaping its setting. The hotel offers a calm urban base near Boston while keeping Cambridge’s connection to knowledge, industry and innovation close at hand. A private courtyard introduces the property with Celeste, a 25-foot armillary sculpture that gives the arrival area a distinctive focal point.

Guest rooms and suites have been refreshed with a design that connects Boston’s past with Cambridge’s contemporary character. The overall style is polished but approachable, with an emphasis on attentive, intuitive hospitality. The property suits travelers seeking a full-service hotel stay in Cambridge, as well as visitors looking for a riverside setting away from the busiest parts of the city.

Food and drink are centered on Bambara Kitchen + Bar, which serves as the hotel’s main dining venue and includes lunch service. A separate Cambridge Lobby Bar provides another setting for drinks within the property. Together, the venues give hotel guests and local visitors options for a meal or a more casual stop without leaving the building.

The hotel also accommodates meetings, private events and weddings, with dedicated event spaces and catering services. Its offering includes wellness, family-friendly and pet-friendly elements, making it suitable for different types of stays. The combination of guest rooms, dining, event facilities and a riverside location gives the property a broad role within Cambridge, from overnight accommodation to a setting for gatherings.

The hotel’s location is useful for exploring Cambridge and reaching Boston, while the courtyard and river-facing setting provide a quieter counterpoint to the surrounding urban area. Celeste, the courtyard sculpture, is an especially recognizable feature for first-time arrivals and a natural meeting point before heading inside to the lobby, restaurant or event spaces.
