Description

This luxurious hotel is in a curious location -- it's close to only a few things but convenient to everything. The Royal Sonesta is a good choice for both business travelers (who can take advantage of wireless Internet access, included in the room rate and available throughout the building) and families. The CambridgeSide Galleria mall is across the street, the Museum of Science is around the corner, and downtown Boston is closer than Harvard Square. In the other direction, MIT and Kendall Square are 10 minutes away on foot. Even in the midst of all this activity, the hotel achieves a serene atmosphere, thanks in part to the helpful staff. Most of the spacious rooms in the 10-story building have lovely views of the river or the city (higher prices are for better views). Everything is custom-designed in modern, comfortable style and is regularly refurbished. Original contemporary artwork, including pieces by Andy Warhol and Frank Stella, hangs throughout the public spaces and guest rooms. The closest competition is Hotel Marlowe , across the street, which offers less extensive fitness options (there's no pool) and fewer river views.
